Don't know how they will hold up to our hot and humid summers but I will do some research and asking gardeners in this area and at my favorite garden centers how well they do here. I don't have much blue, only some larkspurs and that wild ageranium that I never planted. My colors are cool cottage garden colors. Your blogs/photos have given me the inspiration I need to definately add more blues in 2012. Do you grows any of the lobelia from seeds or just buy the starter plants locally? Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo and information.Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570308709067611215.post-8117180247409489752011-06-18T19:56:59.838-06:002011-06-18T19:56:59.838-06:00Oh my goodness, I just love your photographs!
