GENERAL INFORMATION
- Most varieties of lobelia have a somewhat trailing growth habit, although other varieties clump. There are several different flower colors available, but it's well known for its unique true sky blue hue. Other colors include purple, white, pink, and lilac. Most varieties have a tiny white "eye" in the center of each flower. While most varieties have green foliage, a few have a slight bronze tinge to the leaves.
- Despite its compact, delicate appearance, lobelia does not require a lot of maintenance. It doesn't need to be deadheaded because the plant self-cleans its spent, small flowers.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Lobelia likes rich, well-drained soil. Don't let conditions get soggy, however, which can cause root rot.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- Since lobelia is a prolific bloomer and heavy feeder, you'll get the best results by fertilizing it every two weeks with a liquid fertilizer formulated for flowering plants. These typically are somewhat higher in phosphorus than in nitrogen and potassium, as phosphorus promotes more flowers.
- Mix the fertilizer with water in a watering can according to package directions, and apply it to the base of the plant, avoiding its leaves. Continue to fertilize your lobelia regularly through the summer to keep it flowering.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- Full sun to partial shade.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. In areas with regular rainfall, you might not need to provide extra water. In drier areas, however, be prepared to water your lobelia every few days, and more often if the weather is exceptionally hot.
