FAQ about Lobelia – Red

What kind of soil suits lobelia best?
Lobelia thrives in fertile, well-drained soil that also holds moisture well. A mix of garden compost and ordinary garden soil or multi-purpose compost works well. Avoid heavy clay that waterlogs, but also very sandy soil that dries out quickly.
How often should lobelia be watered?
Lobelia needs regular, even watering and must never dry out. In pots and hanging baskets this can mean watering every day in summer, while plants in beds usually manage with watering every other day.
Does lobelia need pruning during the season?
If the plant looks tired or flowering slows down in midsummer, cut it back by about a third. This stimulates new growth and a second flush of flowers. Give a liquid feed after cutting back.
Which pests and diseases can affect lobelia?
Lobelia is fairly resistant but can sometimes be attacked by aphids, especially in dry spells. Root rot can occur with overwatering or poor drainage. Correct watering and good air circulation keep the plant healthy.
Can lobelia be overwintered?
Lobelia erinus is grown as an annual and is rarely worth overwintering. Instead, buy new plants or sow seed indoors in late winter, as the seedlings are slow to get going.
