Description

On T&M's trials we believe we have found the largest flowered bedding lobelia available. Exceptionally abundant cobalt blue flowers cover compact mounds of foliage. Superb winter/spring flowering pot plant, summer bedding in sunny sheltered sites, containers and hanging baskets, edging or rockeries, and bedding. Excellent weather resistance.

Sowing Instructions

Sow from late winter 16-18c (61-64F) on the surface of a good seed compost and seal in a polythene bag or cover with glass until after germination which usually takes 15-20 days. Do not exclude light.

Growing Instructions

Transplant when large enough to handle and grow in cooler conditions. As they are tiny they can be transplanted in small clumps of 3 or 4. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risks of frost, 15cm (6 inches) apart.

Aftercare

Prefers rich moist soil in a sheltered spot and in partial shade. Can also be grown in the greenhouse as an excellent flowering pot plant.

Caution

All Parts Are Poisonous
