Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Blue Eyes'

Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Blue Eyes' is a striking and profusely flowering summer bloomer with unique light blue flowers and a bright white center. This fresh color combination creates a playful and elegant effect in any garden or on the patio. Thanks to its compact, spherical growth, this Lobelia from the popular Riviera series is ideal for flowerbeds, borders, balcony planters, hanging baskets, pots, and colorful flower bowls.

The Riviera series is known for its extra-early flowering. Lobelia 'Riviera Blue Eyes' blooms on average 15 days earlier than standard Lobelia varieties, resulting in a shorter cultivation period and a significantly extended sales season. For professional growers, this means more efficient production, while garden centers have access to attractive, flowering plants sooner.

The plants grow compactly and are well-branched, maintaining their beautiful round shape throughout the entire season. As a result, they remain nicely full without growing long or untidy. The many flowers cover the green foliage almost completely, creating a colorful display for months. The light blue flowers with a white eye combine beautifully with white, pink, purple, and dark blue summer flowers and also attract bees and other pollinators.

Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Blue Eyes' grows best in a sunny to semi-shady location in nutritious, well-drained soil. Regular watering and fertilizing during the growing season promote abundant and long-lasting flowering. Due to its compact growth, this variety is low-maintenance and highly suitable for both private gardens and professional planting projects.

With its early flowering, compact form, and distinctive bicoloured flowers, Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Blue Eyes' is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, profusely flowering, and decorative bedding plant.
