Product description
Lobelia Bush Blue is a classic blue plant, perfect for baskets. They are one of the few flowers 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 spill over the edges of baskets and containers, creating a stunning floral display from summer until autumn.
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.

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.
