Description:
Lobelia siphilitica, commonly known as the great lobelia, is a striking perennial with tall stalks of lavender-blue flowers that bloom from late summer to early fall. It thrives in moist to wet soils and can tolerate short droughts, making it ideal for rain gardens. Native to eastern and central North America, this plant can grow up to 4 feet tall and attracts bumblebees for pollination. Its leaves range from elliptical to lance-like, and it forms a winter rosette. Historically, it was used in traditional medicine for respiratory and muscle disorders.
