Buy Lobelia 'Bedding Mixed' 40 plus 20 FREE large plug plants: Zillions of tiny summer flowers


  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
  • Flowering period: May to the first frosts
  • Hardiness: tender (needs frost protection)

    Each flower is quite small, but as they appear in such high numbers, they really put on a great show. These are 'upright' lobelias, so they remain relatively compact and are perfect for creating low-growing colour in the bedding scheme. They can also be used to add oomph to windowboxes and pots.

    Grown in individual plug cells, each plant measures about 5 - 7cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They are ideal for keen gardeners who have a greenhouse where the plants can be grown on until they are ready for planting out in the garden once all chance of frost has passed.

    Please note that as we grow these for especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. See above for despatch dates for this particular plant. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually.

My favourite bedding plants

5

This was the second year that I have ordered the lobelia bedding. The disadvantage is that they arrive as small plug plants and have to be potted on and over-wintered in a cold frame or greenhouse. However, the plants are very healthy and all survived the "beast from the east" in my cold frame. In the spring, the plants grew on quickly and flowered continuously from May through to around November. They looked absolutely stunning and received many compliments. I generally prefer to buy perennials but make an exception for these lobelia because they are so colourful, long-lasting and such good value.

If you do nothing else...water new plants. Make sure new additions do not suffer during dry spells. Plant up summer containers bedding once the threat of frosts has passed. Feed container plants about six weeks after planting. If it’s a nice day...trim he

Plant up summer containers

After the last frost date, plant up containers with tender flowering bedding and reliable foliage plants. Line terracotta pots with polythene, taking care not to cover the planting holes, to reduce water loss through the porous sides of the pot.
