Beautiful Lobelia Riviera Midnight Blue is absolutely covered with dainty deep blue flowers, with subtle white eyes. With a mounded, compact habit and bronze foliage, Lobelia is a classic choice for adding delicate texture and filling space in garden beds, pots, hanging baskets and borders. Frost tolerant, cool season thriver.
Press lightly (as seeds need light to germinate) into trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and water with a fine mist spray. Retain moisture by covering with glass or plastic cling film. Transplant small clusters of seedlings when large enough to handle.
Choose a sunny or partly shaded position. Add Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone before planting and fertilise regularly with Yates® Thrive® Flower & Fruit Soluble Fertiliser. Protect from snails and slugs.
Cut back after flushes of flowering to encourage more blooms.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
