Planting Instructions:
Timing: Sow Lobelia seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Amend heavy soils with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.
Sowing Indoors: Plant Lobelia seeds lightly on the soil surface and mist gently to moisten. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into well-draining soil in partial shade to full sun.
Spacing: Space Lobelia plants 6-12 inches apart, depending on the desired density and coverage.
Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Lobelia thrives in partial shade to full sun. Provide at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water Lobelia regularly, especially during dry spells, to promote healthy growth and blooming.
Temperature: Lobelia prefers moderate temperatures and may wilt in extreme heat. Provide afternoon shade in hot climates to protect plants.
Care Tips:
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming and encourage new flower production.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Mulching: Mulch around Lobelia plants to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth.
