Description: Lobelia is an annual herb native to North America, typically growing 30–80 cm tall with slender, branching stems and ovate green leaves. The plant produces small, tubular flowers that are blue to violet in colour, appearing along the upper stems during the flowering season. The aerial parts are harvested at peak growth to retain natural colour, structure, and botanical character.
The leaves and tender stems are soft with a slightly textured surface. After drying, they retain their greenish hue and identifiable structure. The cut and sifted herb maintains uniform pieces with visible leaf and stem fragments, making it suitable for blending, storage, and creative applications where botanical integrity is important.
After harvesting, the aerial parts are cleaned to remove soil, debris, and damaged material. They are then dried using controlled low-temperature methods to preserve colour, texture, and natural characteristics. Once fully dried, the herb is cut and sifted to remove fines and broken pieces, resulting in a clean, free-flowing botanical ingredient.
Uses: Lobelia Herb C/S is used in tea-style infusions, herbal and botanical blends, craft projects, cosmetic formulations, decorative displays, and educational herb collections. Its uniform cut pieces and natural appearance make it ideal for blending into mixtures, infused preparations, and creative applications where botanical authenticity is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
