Laguna® Royale Blue Pearl Lobelia

Laguna® Royale Blue Pearl is an annual lobelia with deep blue flowers and a white eye. The selection code WNLOBLCBE23 links this current trade name to the earlier Laguna® Compact Blue with Eye listing. ## Plant Profile The [Laguna® Royale Blue Pearl plant page](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/lobelia/laguna-royale-blue-pearl-lobelia-erinus) describes a mounded, compact plant with an 8–12-inch height and a 10–12-inch spread. It is suited to containers, window boxes, edging and landscape plantings, and attracts bees and butterflies. The listed hardiness range is USDA zones 9a–11b. ## Growing Conditions This selection grows in part sun to sun and blooms from planting until frost. Proven Winners describes the Laguna Royale types as denser and rounder than older Laguna forms. Its page recommends average watering and well-drained soil; allow the soil surface to dry before watering again, since the plant does not tolerate wet roots. It is more heat tolerant than older lobelias, though a prolonged period of very warm nights can pause flowering. ## Maintenance The flowers are self-cleaning, so routine deadheading is unnecessary. If hot nights interrupt bloom, lightly trim tired stems to encourage branching, then maintain even moisture as temperatures cool. Ensure containers and window boxes drain freely.
