Product description
Lobelia Bush Blue is a classic blue plant, perfect for baskets. They are one of the few flower varieties with a true, deep blue colour, which looks breath-taking on its own, but will also compliment other colours beautifully. Masses of tiny, blue, two-lipped flowers and narrow green foliage will produce a beautiful, bright floral display which will bloom all summer long.
Plant Lobelia Bush Blue in moist, well-drained soil and in full sun or partial shade. Water when the soil becomes dry and feed weekly.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Choose a basket or bedding location with consistently good conditions, Use a lightweight, well-draining potting mix. Position plants evenly, leaving space to grow. Fill gaps with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly after planting.
