Lobelia (Lobelia Erinus White Lady) - Grown from Lobelia seeds, this white variety makes a stunning display on its own or when grown with other Lobelia flower colors. This Lobelia ground cover has upright compact growth with masses of white flowers against green foliage. Lobelia White Lady is excellent for containers, in the foreground of flower beds, edging borders, hanging baskets and rock gardens. It will bloom all summer long, and it makes a wonderful, eye-appealing ground cover. White Lady Lobelia has mainly white flowers with a small percent being blue.
Growing Lobelia Erinus from seed is very rewarding! If starting Lobelia seed outdoors, it will not begin to flower for two months after seed is planted. For quicker flowering, start the ground cover seeds indoors 10 - 12 weeks before the last frost is due. Since the Lobelia seeds are very small, plant them on top of finely prepared soil without covering them. Transplant Lobelia seedlings after all danger of frost is passed, spacing them 6 inches apart. Remove flower spikes after blooming to produce further growth.
Common Questions
How are these lobelia plants commonly used in the landscape?
Lobelia eranus is most often used for beds and borders, edging plants, hanging baskets and patio containers.
Are pollinators attracted to the flowers?
Yes, butterflies and hummingbirds are drawn to these flowers.
Will deer eat my plants?
No, deer tend to avoid these plants.
Do I need to fertilize my plants?
Because lobelia is known for its abundant blooms and high nutrient needs, the best results come from fertilizing it every two weeks with a liquid fertilizer designed for flowering plants. These fertilizers generally contain higher levels of phosphorus compared to nitrogen and potassium, as phosphorus encourages more blooms.
Can I encourage my plants to bloom longer?
Lobelia erinus may occasionally pause its blooming when temperatures are hot. To stimulate a fresh wave of flowers, gently trim the plant back by about half and ensure it receives plenty of water. In a week or two, you’ll see the plant adorned once more with its charming small, white-eyed blossoms.
