Park Seed Lobelia Flower Plant Seeds, Easy to Grow, Perfect for Spring Garden, Crystal Palace, Pack of 20

It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.

• Crystal Palace Lobelia, a dwarf species, is a tender perennial (Zones 10-11), usually grown as an annual, offering spring and summer interest.
• Lush and reliable, it blooms profusely in masses of showy, dainty dark blue flowers that smother the long-flowering plant throughout the season. Borne in large, loose clusters, the flowers attract butterflies.
• A Lobelia erinus, a highly popular traditional garden favorite, Crystal Palace has an upright, compact, bushy habit of narrow, bronze-tipped green leaves.
• It is shown to best effect grouped or massed as it forms a low cushy mat of intensely colored blooms. Lobelia is perfect for rock gardens, beds, border edges, and containers.
• This seed comes as a pellet. Pelleted seeds are small seeds that have been clay-coated to make them larger and more uniform in size and shape, making them easier to handle when planting.
