When to sow outside: 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost. In mild winter areas, sow in late summer for winter color.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before average last frost. This is recommended since lobelia takes a long time to germinate.
Annual. Crystal Palace lobelia’s compact masses of intensly rich, dark blue flowers are charming in containers, window boxes, borders or baskets. The leaves are bronze-tipped in partial shade, but the bronze intensifies in full sun. The pretty foliage is hard to spy because of all the flowers which bloom from spring to fall. In mild winter areas, lobelia will grow and bloom during the winter. Under ideal growing conditions, lobelia will reseed.
Instructions

• Fill your 2-inch pots or egg carton cups 3/4 full with potting soil. Use the spray mister to gently moisten the soil.
• Sprinkle three to six seeds into each pot or cup. Do not bury them in the soil, because trailing lobelia seeds need light to germinate.
• Use the plastic wrap to cover the pots or egg cartons, and then place them under a grow light. Most windows are going to be too hot during full sunlight and too cold during the night, so a grow light is the best way to germinate trailing lobelia seeds. Check your seeds daily; if the soil dries out, use the spray mister to moisten it.
• Once the seeds have sprouted and the shoots are 2 to 3 inches tall, remove the plastic. Keep the sprouts under the grow light until all danger of frost has passed.
• Trailing lobelia needs to harden before it can live outside permanently. Put the pots or egg carton outside for a few hours every day in a shady spot and bring them in in at night. Over the course of two weeks, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight as you increase the time they spend outdoors.
• Plant your trailing lobelia outdoors once the two-week hardening period is done. They do particularly well in hanging pots.
