Lobelia puberula, or downy lobelia, is a perennial herbaceous wildflower in the Bellflower family (Campanulaceae) native to eastern and south central United States. It is the most common blue-flowered "Lobelia" in the Southeast. It grows in mesic (moderate moisture) to hydric (moist) habitats in sun or partial shade.
Description.
Downy lobelia is a perennial herb that grows up to tall. Leaves are simple with a toothed margin. The flowers are blue to violet, five-lobed, and bloom from July to October.
"Lobelia puberula" is similar to two other "Lobelia" species in to the Eastern United States, "Lobelia inflata" (Indian tobacco) and "Lobelia siphilitica" (great lobelia); all display the characteristic "lip" petal near the opening of the flower and the "milky" liquid the plant excretes.
