Caution: Irritant to skin and eyes. Pot up plugs into 9cm pots and grow on for transplanting into final containers or baskets later on. Alternatively, plant plugs directly into Flower Pouches™. Grow on in warm frost free conditions until plants are large enough to be transplanted into their final containers.
When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise Lobelia to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Choose a sunny or semi shaded site for their final position. Feed and water plants regularly, particularly during hot, dry periods.
