This Lobelia didn't do much of anything it's first year but that sometimes happens. It did not emerge along with the other perennials. Suddenly, it was just there after a couple of rain soaked days 3 weeks ago, now it's about 2' tall and blooming like crazy! It's a beautiful red also. Right under the Hummingbird feeder, with the lack of Hummers & Butterflies this year, I'm hoping it reels them in from afar!
