Lobelia erinus 'Sapphire' (Trailing)
lobelia
Jazz up summer hanging baskets and windowboxes with this impressive trailing lobelia. The flowers of 'Sapphire' are an intense shade of magenta-purple, and to say they appear in profusion would be an understatement! They look spectacular when planted with rich blues, purples, pinks and silver too.

How to care for Lobelia erinus Sapphire:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feed with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer.
