Harris Seeds Lobelia Regatta Seed

Multi-pelleted seeds contain several seeds coated in a clay-like material to make them easier to handle and sow. Because of this coating, it is critical to keep the soil consistently moist during germination so the pellet dissolves properly and allows the seeds to sprout.

These should be started indoors using the transplant method. Lobelia requires specific temperature control during the germination phase, which is much easier to manage in a controlled indoor environment than directly in the garden.

While these plants thrive in cooler spring conditions, they prefer partial shade as summer temperatures rise. They are best suited for containers or hanging baskets that can be moved or placed in spots protected from the intense afternoon sun.

Regatta Sky Blue is a trailing variety with a compact habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets where you want a lush, full look. You can expect the plants to reach about 8 inches in height with a spread of around 12 inches.

For the best results, maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F. Once they have germinated, you can lower the ambient temperature to 65-70°F during the day and 55-60°F at night to encourage strong, healthy growth.
