Annual. Blooms from spring to fall frost. 4" - 6" mound, 12" spread. Full sun.
A mass of intensely rich, deep blue flowers. This is the upright lobelia that adds a dazzling punch of color to any setting. Try growing in pots, rock gardens, borders, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover for any small bare patch of soil. Flowers are so prolific; the foliage is often not seen. In mild winter areas, it will grow and bloom in the winter. Under ideal conditions, it will reseed and return the following year. Germination is slow (15 - 20 days), but the full season of color is well worth the wait! Eye-catching when paired with other brightly colored annuals such as small gold or orange marigolds.
OUTDOORS: Cold Climates: Sow in spring after average last day of frost. In mild winter areas, sow late summer for winter color.
INDOORS: Sow in 8 - 10 weeks before last frost date. This is the recommended method, since Lobelia takes a long time to germinate.
SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: Seed requires light to germinate - press lightly into soil surface and keep moist. When planting seeds outside, plant 4 - 6 seeds in a "clump" an area the size of your small fingernail. Clumps should be 4" - 6" apart. Another method would be to mix the contents of the packet with 2 cups of soil. Evenly spread the mixture over 6 square feet. Inside, plant 4 - 6 seeds in each cell. After 8 - 10 weeks, plant the whole cell outside - do not break apart seedlings in cell.
