About this product

In frost-free zones, Lobelia erinus, can perform as a perennial, but in most areas, it is a popular annual that is colorful and versatile. Lobelia makes a nice ground cover with a compact, trailing growth habit. Masses of blooms cover the green foliage. Lobelia is also perfect for edging borders, rock gardens, hanging baskets and window boxes. This variety, Blue Carpet, has small bright blue flower. They bloom from summer through fall and are showy and dependable! Grow Blue Carpet alone or combine it with other Lobelia varieties for a beautiful scene of color. Lobelia is not drought tolerant, so make sure it is watered deeply during periods of high temperatures. Start the seeds indoors 8 – 10 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the seed into the soil and do not cover it. Keep the seed moist continuously. With a temperature of 72F, germination is usually within 21 days. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space the plants 6 inches apart. For areas with a long growing season, the seed can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed after danger of frost as passed. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in well-drained soil. Lobelia is usually resistant to deer.
