Jewel-toned container combo by Proven Winners

Plan to offset purples and blues with bright green for breathtaking contrast and a scene-stealing combo by Proven Winners.


Unlike other lobelia, ‘Laguna Sky Blue’ is heat tolerant, making this annual an excellent performer right through the summer.

Allow the soil surface to dry between waterings, as it doesn’t enjoy damp conditions. Pair with ‘Supertunia® Double Purple’ to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This double variety doesn’t require deadheading – if larger old blooms remain on the plant, remove them if you wish, but leaving them on won’t hinder its prolific flowering.

Use chartreuse Lysimachia ‘Goldilocks’ (hardy to zone 3) to spill over the sides of the container and frame this jewel-tone combination.
