    This variety was bred to tolerate heat better than the basic lobelias available in nurseries. Like other mounding, trailing lobelias, this is popular as a bedding plant, especially for use in hanging baskets and containers. The plants are petite and delicate, and they offer a nice color and texture contrast to more upright or spiky flower forms.
