Dainty in size but dazzling in spirit, Laguna® Royale Lilac Lobelia brings a dreamy wash of lilac-purple blooms to your garden with the grace of a ballerina and the heart of a sun-loving adventurer. Where traditional Laguna® lobelias are known for their airy, trailing elegance—perfect for weaving a tapestry of color through mixed containers—Royale Lilac marches to the beat of its own bloom. With a more compact, rounded shape, this variety is the darling of designers who crave order without sacrificing whimsy.
Tuck it along a sunny garden path where it can greet passersby with a violet smile, slip it into a rock crevice for an unexpected pop of charm, or let it shine solo in a window box where its refined form steals the spotlight. Wherever you place it, Royale Lilac adds a painterly touch of purple and a hint of enchantment. And here's the secret behind its royal staying power: like all Laguna® lobelias, it offers superior heat tolerance, meaning it blooms bravely through the summer sun when others fade, all while dazzling from the first notes of spring until autumn’s curtain call.
