Lobelia inflata and Lobelia erina (dwarf lobelia).
Worldwide, there are more than 200 species of lobelia, growing predominantly in the temperate and tropical zones.
Overwatering lobelia can lead to root rot, wilting of leaves, declining health, and eventually death of the plant. It is important to allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering to prevent waterlogged conditions for lobelia.
The aerial parts of the lobelia plant, including the leaves and sometimes the flowers, are primarily used for medicinal purposes. These parts contain active compounds that are used in herbal medicine for respiratory issues, such as asthma and bronchitis.
Yes, lobelia is a perennial plant that can come back every year in Zone 6 as long as it is provided with the appropriate growing conditions and care. It may die back in the winter but should regrow in the following spring.
