The trade label Lobelia pendula is used here for trailing garden lobelias associated with Lobelia erinus.
Botanical characteristics
These are distinct in habit from upright edging forms. Small flowers may have a contrasting pale eye, and the trailing stems suit hanging baskets. Garden lobelias need regular moisture and generally perform better in cool conditions than in intense summer heat.
Trailing forms of garden lobelia
Hamburgia is documented as a trailing selection; Sapphire is described for purple flowers with a white eye. Both provide named comparison points for seed resellers. The catalogue also includes mixtures and individual colour entries, which should remain separate references in a bulk assortment.
