How to Grow:
Start your seeds indoors about 8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the surface of a soilless medium, uncovered, and maintain consistent moisture using a mister or bottom watering. Store at 75°F for best germination in 20-25 days. After germination, lower the temperature to 60°F and grow under lights. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors to partially shaded areas once all danger of frost has passed.
With its trailing shape and bright blue flowers, the 'Saphir Retombant' lobelia is the perfect addition to beautify your outdoor spaces. It will enhance your floral arrangements with elegance and freshness.
