Dwarf Annual Lobelia, Edging Lobelia
Lobelia erinus (edging lobelia, garden lobelia or trailing lobelia) is a species of Lobelia native to southern Africa, from Malawi and Namibia south to South Africa.
Lobelia erinus is a small, annual or perennial flowering plant native to southern Africa. In Qatar, it is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant, thriving in the country's mild winters. It has delicate, blue-purple flowers with a white or pale yellow center, and grows up to 10-30 cm tall. Lobelia erinus prefers well-drained soil and partial shade, making it a popular choice for gardens, parks, and landscapes in Qatar, where it adds vibrant color and texture during the cooler months (October to March).
