I had purchased Great Blue Lobelia seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery last year and was very surprised that amongst all the blue plants I ended up with a single white one. Which makes a very nice contrast amongst all the blue ones. I ended up collecting the seeds, stratifying them in the refrigerator, planting them on February 15th and noted the first germination in six days.
I am looking forward to seeing how many will actually turn out to be white. I will be offering the plants for sale. Other than the color all else is the same as with the blue variety.
For more information regarding the white lobelia do a Google Search: Great Blue Lobelia (White) (Lobelia siphilitica 'Alba')
