Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Blue Purple Lobelia Erinus seed germination, summer care, and hanging basket growing.
How do you germinate Lobelia erinus seeds?
Sow the tiny seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press them gently without burying them deeply. Provide bright light, suitable temperatures, and consistent moisture. Germination often takes around 10–21 days, although timing depends on seed freshness and growing conditions.
How do you keep Lobelia erinus flowering during summer?
Lobelia erinus generally performs best in cool to mild conditions. In hot weather, provide afternoon shade, keep the soil evenly moist, and avoid waterlogging. Some cultivars may flower less during intense heat and resume growth when temperatures become more favorable.
Is trailing Lobelia erinus suitable for hanging baskets?
Yes. Trailing cultivars of Lobelia erinus are popular for hanging baskets and window boxes because their stems can spill over the edges. Use a well-drained potting mix, choose a container with drainage holes, and check moisture regularly because hanging baskets can dry out quickly.
