Lobelia – Indian Tobacco – Lobelia inflata plant (quart pot)

Description

Native to eastern half N.A.

Indian Tobacco is an annual; it completes its life cycle during one season but will re-seed. The flowers are a pale white-purple color with a yellowish base.

Does well in moist or dry open spaces – doesn’t mind some shade.

The small flowers attract small native bees.

The plant itself is highly toxic to mammals, so deer will not graze on this plant. It is also toxic to humans, so do not smoke or chew this plant.
