Lobelia Crimson Fountain
Botanic Name: Lobelia erinus
1500 Seeds
Features: Delightful colour for hanging baskets and tubs.
Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray of pre-watered compost. Place in a warm, light position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Keep the compost moist. The tray can be covered with clingfilm to preserve humidity, but remove when seedlings appear. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings in tiny clumps 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts). before planting out 15cm (6") apart, when frosts are over.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Part shade
