Lobelia pendula Blue Cascade

Half-hardy Annual Trailer
Flowers: Summer
Position: Sun or Partial Shade
Ideal For: Baskets, Bedding, Containers, Edging, Patio, Tubs
Germination: Easy
Aftercare: Easy

Description
The freely branching plants are covered in myriads of blooms from spring until late autumn and provide a cloud of true Cambridge blue flowers with a small white eye. As an outdoor trailing plant, Blue Cascade is unsurpassed!

Sowing Instructions
Sow late winter to mid spring at 18-24C (65-75F) in a good seed compost. Sow seed on surface of compost and gently firm down compost. Keep soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light, selling in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 14-21 days.

Growing Instructions
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant in bunches of 3 or 4 per 7.5cm (3in) pot and grow on in cooler conditions. Plant up into containers, hanging baskets etc, and leave for 10-15 days before moving out of doors.

Caution
Harmful if eaten

ok, not sure what has survived and what hasn't out there- badly labeled to begin with, and my knowledge of leaves is pretty minimal
the sun got most of these anyway- the hardy ones lived (go nasturium, marigolds, geraniums and morning glories- well outside morning glories lived, inside ones all croaked)
