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.

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance. Laguna does not like "wet feet". Be sure that you do not keep the soil wet. They will reliably bloom in warm temperatures unless night temperatures stay in the upper 70's or above. If you experience an extended time period with high night temperatures the plants may flush out of bloom, however, the plants themselves should continue to look good. If the plants do go out of flower using a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to give the plants a "haircut" - a slight overall trim - should encourage additional branching.
