Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from January to April. Scatter seeds thinly onto the surface of moist, well-drained compost in trays or pots. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 15-20°C and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 10-21 days.

 

When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or modules. Gradually harden off young plants by placing them outside during the day for about a week before planting them into their final positions after the last frost. Space plants approximately 10-15 cm apart.

 

Lobelia Trailing Colour Cascade thrives in full sun to partial shade and benefits from consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming, ensuring a spectacular display throughout the summer.

 

This easy-to-grow, versatile trailing variety is perfect for gardeners seeking a cascade of colour in their outdoor spaces. Lobelia Trailing Colour Cascade is an essential addition to hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes, where it brings elegance and vibrancy to any garden setting.
