Annual Lobelia (Lobelia erinus)

Annual Lobelia is an easy way to add a true-blue splash to containers and borders, especially when you want color that feels light and airy instead of heavy. The plant forms a compact mound or trailing edge that quickly fills gaps and makes plantings look finished. It blooms best in cooler weather and keeps going with consistent moisture, making it a strong choice for spring displays and bright shade summer pots. In most regions it is grown as a warm-season annual, delivering long-lasting color until heat or frost slows it down.

Distinctive Features

This plant produces masses of small, fan-shaped flowers in shades that commonly include blue, violet, white, pink, and bicolors, held over fine-textured green foliage. Depending on the selection, the habit can be mounding, edging, or trailing, which makes it versatile for baskets, window boxes, and bed fronts. Bloom typically runs from spring into fall, with the strongest show in cooler periods, and plants may pause in intense summer heat. Its soft texture and saturated color help it blend smoothly with bolder flowers and foliage plants.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with part shade preferred where summers are hot.
  • Soil: Organically rich, well-drained soil that holds even moisture.
  • Water: Medium moisture, keep soil evenly moist and do not let containers dry out for long.
  • USDA Zones: 10 to 11 as a tender perennial, grown as an annual in colder zones.
  • Mature Size: About 6 to 9 inches tall and 6 to 12 inches wide, with some trailing types spreading more.
  • Notable Traits: Heavy bloom in cool weather and a fine texture that works as an edging or soft spiller.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use a dense planting as a focal point in a container or window box where the blue bloom mass reads as a clean, bright color block.
  • Hanging Baskets: Trailing types cascade nicely to soften rims and add continuous color.
  • Window Boxes: Fills in quickly and keeps the display looking full through spring and early summer.
  • Border Front: Works as a crisp edging plant that adds color without height or bulk.
  • Cool-Season Color: Ideal for early-season plantings when you want long bloom before summer heat peaks.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep moisture consistent, especially in containers, because drought stress can reduce bloom quickly.
  • Trimming: Shear lightly if plants get leggy or slow down in heat to encourage fresh growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth in containers to support steady flowering.
  • Heat Management: Provide afternoon shade and steady moisture in hot weather to extend performance.
  • Season Transition: Replace or refresh plantings when heat or frost ends peak bloom for the cleanest look.

Why Choose Annual Lobelia?

  • True-Blue Impact: Delivers saturated blue tones that are hard to find in other seasonal flowers.
  • Soft Texture: Fine foliage and small blooms create a light, airy look that layers easily.
  • Versatile Habit: Works as edging, mounding color, or a trailing spiller depending on the selection.
  • Long Bloom Potential: Blooms from spring into fall with the best show in cooler conditions and good moisture.
  • Container Friendly: Quickly fills spaces and keeps pots and boxes looking finished.

If you want dependable blue color that makes arrangements feel more polished, Annual Lobelia is a simple solution. Plant it where moisture is easy to manage and give it some shade in the hottest part of the day for the longest run. Use it to connect brighter flowers, cool down warm palettes, or add a clean edge along paths and bed fronts. With consistent watering and an occasional trim, it keeps delivering a steady, airy bloom display.

Guided tour through a difficult work
Format: Paperback
For the non-expert reader of Plato, this is a very good text for working through Timaeus. Actually, it may be useful to expert readers as well, but I wouldn't know about that, being firmly situated in the non-expert camp. Though some scholars may take exception to certain parts of Cornford's translation and interpretation, for those of us trying to get through it for the first time and on our own, this is still an exceptional guide. By the way, for an alternative translation and interpretation, the reader may want to check out Kalkavage's translation (Focus Philosophical Library), it is very good (I would rate it 5 stars also) and has some extremely helpful appendices for understanding references to music, astronomy, and geometry.

Cornford's Plato Cosmology/Timaeus
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent and invaluable reference book for Plato's Timaeus. If you are reading Timaeus you MUST have this book. It contains line-by-line commentary, and also, most valuable, some very helpful illustrations (example: illustration of the human body as Timaeus explained it). I would, however, balance this book with other books that attempt to place Timaeus within the rest of Plato's works. I recommend, for example, Peter Kalkavage's Timaeus. There, he attempts to link Timaeus and Republic.

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans' , and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus . Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with. The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.
