They are borne on stiff stems that raise them above rosettes of dark green leaves. Though it does like shade, the lobelia will grow in full sun if it’s watered sufficiently. The plant doesn’t live long, but because it self-sows so freely it’s considered a perennial. There are close to 400 species of lobelia, and many other types come in shades of pink, white or red. The flower gets its name from botanist Matthias de Lobel and has been used medicinally for centuries.
