Half-hardy Annual. A favorite summer bedding plant, with tiny florets in sky blue to deep blue, white, purple, rose, carmine or cherry-red. Spreading mounds of Lobelia are great for containers. Does best in full sun or partial shade in a humus-rich, sandy, moist but well-drained soil. To encourage bushy growth, pinch off tops when seedlings are 1" high. Remove flower spikes after blooming to produce further growth. 'Rosamund' is the pictured cultivar.
