lobelia

Trailing basket bloom

Lobelia is a genus of flowering plants with tubular, lipped blossoms, commonly grown in gardens for their intense blue, red, or white flowers.

The plants spill over containers and borders: She planted trailing lobelia along the edge of the window box.

Some species have historical medicinal uses, particularly for respiratory ailments, though the plant is toxic in quantity.
