My wife bought this at a store but it didn't have the plastic information stick to let you know what type and how often to water and whatnot.

Does anyone know what this is?

Blue Edging Lobelia (Lobelia erinus) is a vibrant and versatile plant, native to southern and tropical Africa. It is perennial in warm regions , but is also widely treated as a summer annual in colder climes. Numerous cultivars have been bred, with flowers ranging in hues of white, pink, violet and all shades of blue, from most pale to very dark. The habit is also variable wth some plants remaining uprightly erect, while others decumbently spill and trail.
