TRAILING LOBELIA 'MIDNIGHT'
Lobelia erinus pendula
SKU: 1022-005P
Description
A stunning new color, possibly the darkest available! Though it can be used in baskets solo, this lobelia is ideal as a filler between other plants in hanging baskets, planters, and in garden beds. Stunning deep-blue flowers are produced in masses all season long, and add rich vibrant color to compliment almost any other colors. A must-have for sunny areas!
These seeds can be selected as pelleted or non-pelleted. Without pelleting these seeds are tiny.
Type: Annual
Spreading/hanging: 24"
Height: 8"
Location: Part shade or full shade
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
About pellets: Pelleting is a coating that is sometimes applied to small seeds, to help with handling and sowing. Once the seeds are sown and watered, the pelleting is designed to immediately disintegrate to release the seeds.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require light to germinate. Place seeds on the surface of a sterile seed mix (do not bury them), and keep moist and warm until germination, which can take 3-4 weeks. Do not let the soil dry out, or it can end the germination process. Grow in a partly-shady location. A sterile seed-start mix is important with these seeds, as regular potting soil can contain eggs of fungus gnats, which can be detrimental to very small seeds. Be sure the mix is specifically formulated for starting seeds.
