Lobelia Cascade of Color Seed
Lobelia - erinus
$1.79

Item #1195

Annual. Blooms from spring to fall frost. 6"-8" long, 6" spread. Full sun. A cascade of small jewel-toned flowers of blue, blue with a white eye, lilac, red, ruby, and white on graceful trailing foliage. Perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, or large containers. Also can be used to add long-blooming color to the edge of flowerbeds. For best results, pinch tips for bushy growth, and trim lightly after first flowers fade. 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! Striking in a hanging moss basket when paired with other brightly colored annuals.

When to plant outside: Cold Climates: Sow in spring after average last day of frost. In mild winter areas, sow late summer for winter color.

When to start inside: 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.
