Lobelia (Lobelia Mid Blue) - You will want to have this brilliant shade of marine blue in your landscape setting! Lobelia seeds are easy to start and quick to grow. Lobelia Blue is a very popular annual that adds striking color to many diverse settings. Use Lobelia plants in containers, hanging baskets, edging along the flower garden, and as a general ground cover. It's very versatile and loves to bloom all summer long!

Blue Lobelia is not drought tolerant, so make sure you water deep and long. The roots must have plenty of moisture to endure the baking hot sun in the middle of the day. Do not let it dry out. Blue Lobelia flowers make a beautiful ground cover that performs well in full sun to partial shade.

Growing Lobelia Erinus from seed is very rewarding! If starting Lobelia seeds outdoors, it will not begin to flower for two months after seed is planted. For quicker flowering, start the ground cover seed indoors 10 - 12 weeks before the last frost is due. Since the Lobelia seeds are very small, plant them on top of finely prepared soil without covering them. Transplant Lobelia seedlings after all danger of frost is passed, spacing them 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Remove flower spikes after blooming to produce further growth.
