Plant description
Each flower is quite small, but as they appear in such high numbers, they really put on a great show. Lobelia 'Bedding Mixed' 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.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plants, but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
