Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

What is in a Regatta Midnight Blue lobelia packet?
The W.H. Perron packet, code 61-1357-010, contains approximately 20 seeds supplied as multi-seed pellets. Each small pellet combines several seeds to make a clustered plant easier to establish; it therefore does not represent 20 individual bare seeds. At sowing, wet every pellet thoroughly so it dissolves and releases its seeds. No other treatment is published. This format is not organic, so semences_biologique is FALSE. The variety is not advertised as an F1 hybrid, so semence_reproductible is TRUE, although offspring may vary after cross-pollination. No heirloom designation is published, so semence_patrimoine is FALSE. Store the packet closed, cool, dry, and with its product code to prevent confusion with any edible or medicinal lobelia.
How should the multi-seed pellets be sown successfully?
Sow indoors 6 to 7 weeks before outdoor planting in clean, porous, well-drained seed-starting mix. Place the multi-seed pellets on the surface without covering them because light supports emergence. Wet them thoroughly from the beginning so their coating dissolves, then maintain 21 to 22°C and even moisture without standing water. W.H. Perron lists germination in 5 to 10 days. Each pellet may produce several seedlings that form one small cluster; do not automatically separate these fragile young plants. After emergence, provide abundant light and good air movement. Harden plants gradually, then transplant them 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost. Protect them from harsh sunlight during their first days outdoors and water carefully at soil level.
What habit and flowering should be expected?
Regatta Midnight Blue produces vigorous trailing stems covered with midnight-blue flowers, often accompanied by green foliage flushed with bronze. W.H. Perron lists 15 to 20 cm in height, 25 to 30 cm in spread, and maturity in 12 to 15 weeks. An older Norseco catalogue instead lists 30 cm in height and 10 to 13 weeks; the current W.H. Perron retail figures are retained and the discrepancy remains documented. The Regatta series flowers up to one month earlier than other trailing lobelias and is less likely to become bare at the centre. Its habit is especially suitable for hanging baskets, window boxes, colour bowls, and edges where stems can cascade. In Quebec, flowering generally extends from July through September. Remove faded growth to keep clusters tidy.
Can Regatta Midnight Blue lobelia be grown in a container?
Regatta Midnight Blue lobelia can be grown in a container when the pot provides effective drainage and enough volume for expected growth. Regatta Midnight Blue lobelia is an ornamental flowers variety offered as seed for gardeners who want clear, practical product information. Confirmed details include maturity:, height:, spread:, colour: blue marine. The packet contains approximately 20 seeds en enrobage multiple, and the formulation is non-organic seeds, treated seeds, multipelleted. For best results, follow the sowing, light, and spacing information associated with this variety. You can adjust care to your soil, weather, and observed growth without exceeding the plant’s actual needs.
Is this lobelia edible and safe?
No. NC State specifically classifies Lobelia erinus as a medium-severity poisonous plant; its alkaloids include lobeline and lobelamine. toxicite is therefore TRUE, comestible is FALSE, and pet_friendly is FALSE. Every part, including the seeds, flowers, foliage, roots, and sap, can cause effects when consumed in quantity. Possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, weakness, dilated pupils, convulsions, and coma in severe cases. The ASPCA also confirms lobeline toxicity in another species of the same genus for dogs, cats, and horses, reinforcing caution without replacing exact species identification. Keep packets and plants securely beyond reach. Following ingestion or any symptom, immediately contact a veterinarian or poison-control service with the name Lobelia erinus, the possible amount, and symptoms observed.
