There's two types of bedding Lobelia, a trailing one for baskets and a bush one which can be used for baskets or either in the ground but the bush one is preferable for the ground.

Here's some of the names,

Beautiful Lobelia!

And they're easy to grow from seeds, too. Smiling

Different colors too. The bright blue is a favorite.
Last year I bought Lavander and pink for containers.
My personal opinion is they both look white from my height.

I don't care for the pink too much, but I do like the lavender when it's mixed in with white alyssum.
