Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Marine Blue'

Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Marine Blue' is a compact and profusely flowering summer bloomer with deep navy blue flowers that provide an impressive display for a long period. The intense blue color creates a stylish contrast in flowerbeds, borders, balcony planters, hanging baskets, pots, and colorful flower bowls. Thanks to its uniform, spherical growth, this variety is an excellent choice for both professional growers and garden enthusiasts looking for a reliable and decorative bedding plant.

The Riviera series is known for its extra-early flowering. Lobelia 'Riviera Marine Blue' blooms on average 15 days earlier than standard Lobelia varieties, shortening cultivation time and significantly extending the sales season. This offers benefits for growers and garden centers, who can have access to compact, profusely flowering plants with high ornamental value early in the season.

The plants develop a sturdy, well-branched, and rounded growth habit. Due to this compact habit, they remain beautifully full and retain their shape throughout the entire growing season. The numerous navy blue flowers cover the foliage almost completely and ensure prolonged flowering from spring well into summer. The deep blue color combines beautifully with white, pink, purple, and silver-leaved plants and gives any planting an elegant appearance. Moreover, the flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

For best results, Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Marine Blue' prefers a sunny to semi-shady location in well-drained, nutritious soil. Regular watering and balanced fertilization ensure vigorous growth and abundant flowering throughout the season.

With its early flowering, compact spherical shape, and intensely navy blue flowers, Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Marine Blue' is an excellent choice for colorful summer plantings in gardens, on terraces, and in professional landscaping projects.
