Great Lobelia

Belonging to a group of deciduous and evergreen herbaceous shrubs, the great lobelia is cultivated for its fragrant, tubular blue flowers. Lobelias grow best in sunny locations with moist, well-drained soils and are especially well-suited for native gardens or areas in and around ponds and streams.
