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.

The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this in our blog.
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.
