Million Bells and Lobelia

Yellow Cabaret Million Bells, Good Night Kiss Cabaret Million Bells, and a new type of lobelia that is supposed to stand up to heat better, Techno Dark Blue Imp Lobelia. So far it's still alive in September, they're usually dead by July for me.

Thank you. Here's the original, taken from my backyard planters last summer. And that new Lobelia really did hold up all season, so I'll be looking for more of them for this summer as well. They usually dry up in our heat by mid-summer no matter how much water you give them.

Pretty and cheerful colors, Nancy! And thanks for sharing the info about the lobelia. I tried growing lobelia, both red and blue, and was rather disappointed. Yours looks great! I'll have to check into that cultivar. Rolling my eyes.

There were 2 different names for them from different companies, and I tried them both and both did well and lasted all season. One was Techno Upright Dark Blue (this was the deeper prettier color to me), and the other name Heat Hot Royal Blue.
