Product description
This six pack of Lobelia Fountain Mixed bedding plants will create splendid, colourful displays in your hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers with this wonderful colour combination. These free-flowering, trailing lobelias are compact, popular annuals with small, dark green leaves and masses of flowers produced from summer to autumn. This variety in the 'Fountain' series has been specially bred to provide larger flowers supported by broader-leaved foliage, resulting in a much more generous fill in containers. They also look fantastic trailing over walls to create stunning feature areas in the summer garden.
Plant in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun or part-shade and feed regularly through the summer. Impatiens do not need to be deadheaded as they will self-clean their spent blooms.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Instructions
Top Tip
Trim back lightly after the first flush of blooms to encourage fresh growth and continued flowering. Lobelia adds delicate texture and vibrant colour to summer displays and is especially effective when mass planted or combined with other bedding favourites.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry or windy weather. Lobelia has shallow roots and can dry out quickly, particularly in pots and hanging baskets. Avoid overwatering, but don’t allow the soil to become completely dry.
How to Plant
Plant Lobelia bedding plants in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded position. These low-growing, spreading plants are perfect for borders, containers, and edging displays, offering a cloud of tiny flowers. Space plants 10–15cm apart to allow for full, even coverage.
