Species and varieties: Lobelia is a genus comprising over 400 species of flowering plants. The pink lobelia is a variety of Lobelia erinus, commonly known as trailing lobelia. This variety is known for its vibrant pink flowers and is often used in hanging baskets, containers, and as ground cover.
Hybrid or heirloom: Pink lobelia flower seeds can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Hybrid varieties are often bred for specific traits such as color intensity and disease resistance, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations.
Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Pinching back the stems can promote bushier growth. Lobelia does not require extensive pruning but benefits from occasional trimming to maintain its shape and vigor.
Fertilization needs: Lobelia benefits from a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer applied every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. A slow-release fertilizer can also be used at the time of planting.
Hardiness zones: Lobelia erinus is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 10-11. In cooler climates, it is often grown as an annual.
Climate requirements: Pink lobelia thrives in cool, moist environments. It prefers partial shade to full sun and requires well-drained soil. In hotter climates, it benefits from afternoon shade to prevent the flowers from wilting.
