Technical details:
Botanical name: Lobelia erinus 'Nana Compatta'
Seed quantity: 10 seeds
Plant type and growing cycle: Annual. It offers continuous flowering from late spring until the first autumn frosts.
Plant height: Low, usually reaching 10-15 cm, creating a compact floral carpet.
Uses: Ideal for borders, flower beds, pots, planters, rock gardens, hanging baskets, and as ground cover in bright areas. Perfect for purely ornamental purposes.
Tasting Notes: It produces a profusion of small, five-petaled flowers, typically in intense shades of cobalt blue, but can also feature shades of purple, pink, or white, often with a contrasting white eye. The leaves are small, lanceolate, and bright green, creating a dense backdrop for the flowers.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to southern Africa, Lobelia is sensitive to frost and prefers mild climates. It thrives in temperate Europe as an annual.
Sowing time: We recommend sowing in a protected seedbed between February and April for early flowering. Directly into the ground or in pots after the last risk of frost.
Flowering period: It flowers abundantly from May-June until October-November, depending on the climatic conditions and the sowing date.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a constant temperature of 18-22°C. The seeds are very small and require light to germinate; they should not be covered with soil, but simply pressed lightly into the surface. Keep the substrate constantly moist.
Soil type: Prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Avoid waterlogging.
Recommended exposure: It prefers full sun exposure for more abundant flowering, but tolerates partial shade, especially in regions with very hot summers.
Germination times: Germination usually occurs within 10-20 days of blanching.
Pot or ground cultivation: Extremely versatile, it is perfectly suited to both growing in containers of all types (pots, planters, hanging baskets) and to planting in open ground for borders and flowerbeds.
Quality Specifications: Our garden seeds are guaranteed Non-GMO (not genetically modified) and selected for their high germination, ensuring a vigorous start for your plants.
