Lobelia Riviera Lilac

Lobelia Riviera Lilac: Compact, Lilac-Purple Cool-Season Annual

Lobelia erinus Riviera Lilac is a beautiful, compact, and mounded cool-season annual that delivers a profusion of soft lilac-purple blooms highlighted by attractive deeper violet eyes. As a member of the early-flowering Riviera series, this Lobelia is specifically bred for improved uniformity, rapid growth, and enhanced heat tolerance.

The low-growing, mounded form is highly versatile in the garden. It is perfect for creating beautiful, soft-colored edging along borders, achieving a dense, flowering effect when mass planted as groundcover, or cascading gracefully from hanging baskets and mixed containers. Riviera Lilac is a dependable variety that offers elegance, speed, and lasting color in cooler weather and mild heat.
