Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1998

Good Qualities

Great color (3); Very sturdy stems (2); No pests; Nice in pots for late summer color; Easy germination; Great, interesting flower; Beautiful; Attractive bronze leaf; 72% germination; Nice fine line material

Problems

Too short (4); It did so poorly we cannot comment on ‘good qualities’; Plants took a long time to take off (where too small to plant out early; it was too hot later so kept them in greenhouse.); Not floriferous in 1st year; Stems unnaturally thick and unattractive; Spider mites in greenhouse; Doesn’t branch much, if at all.

Comments

We will grow over winter to see growth next year; Since we grow our flowers in Zone 5, I do not expect Zone 6 Lobelia to survive the winter (2); I’m not wild about color; In our experience Lobelia is not well appreciated in our market; Similar to Lobelia ‘Compliment’; I have about 80 feet of Lobelia verdenalis, candinalis, fan, etc. I think they’re beautiful & I have a perfect growing environment for them, but I can’t sell them. They are beautiful to some florists, but even they say their designers don’t like them and most believe their customers won’t like them.
