    Specifically, this one is Lobelia erinus pendula 'sapphire' https://www.shootgardening.co.uk/plant/lobelia-erinus-pendula-sapphire usually sold as Lobelia sapphire trailing (as opposed to bush, which is upright) – Bamboo Aug 19 '18 at 10:40

It's Lobelia erinus, but most of the time I have just seen it called Lobelia, even though there seem to be other species in the genus Lobelia which look quite different.
