The Great Blue Lobelia is a native, perennial wildflower that grows to a height of two to four feet. Its flowers are bright blue and have a tubular shape with two lips. The upper lip has two lobes, and the lower lip has three lobes. The flowers have stripes on the tube portion that guide pollinators to the nectar and pollen. Its alternate leaves are lance shaped and have a finely toothed margin. The Great Blue Lobelia is found in a variety of habitats, such as wet meadows, woodlands, bog gardens, ponds, and streams. It prefers rich, humus, and moist soils that do not dry out. (SF)
