Crystal Palace Trailing Lobelia, or Lobelia erinus, is a low-growing perennial that thrives in cooler climates and adds a touch of sophistication to your garden. Here's how to care for these beauties:
1. Sunlight: Crystal Palace Trailing Lobelia prefers partial to full shade. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it generally thrives in areas with filtered sunlight or dappled shade.
2. Soil: These trailing lobelias prefer moist, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Incorporating organic matter into the soil can enhance its fertility and water-retention capacity.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. However, be cautious about overwatering. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
4. Fertilization: A light application of balanced fertilizer during the growing season can encourage healthy growth and prolific flowering. Follow the recommended dosage on the fertilizer packaging.
5. Pruning: Regular deadheading (removing spent blooms) encourages continuous flowering and keeps the plant looking tidy. Trailing lobelias also respond well to light pruning to maintain their shape and encourage bushier growth.
