Growing Instructions:
Direct sow Lobelia seeds in late fall on the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. For spring planting, cold stratify by mixing seeds with moist sand and storing in the refrigerator for 60 days. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring. Keep the soil lightly moist and transplant the seedlings when they can safely be handled and there's no chance of frost. Lobelia plants prefer moist environments and can self-sow in optimal conditions, especially in wetter areas near ponds or streams. Mature plants may be divided in early spring for propagation.
