You will receive a seed packet containing 0.1 gram or a minimum of 1,000 fresh Blue Lobelia seeds. This North American native perennial thrives in moist to wet soils in partial sun to shade, making it great for rain gardens, pond edges, low-lying areas, and other damp areas. A short-lived perennial, these plants produce a small rosette of leaves their first year, and tall spikes of blue flowers in subsequent years. Flowers are a hummingbird magnet! Blue Lobelia seeds require 60 days of cold stratification to break their dormancy. This can be achieved by placing seeds in a bag of moist sand, peat, or even a damp coffee filter, and into the refrigerator, or by sowing outdoors in the fall. Blue Lobelia seeds require light to germinate, so must be covered lightly. Stratified seeds should emerge 14-21 days after planting; seedlings can be planted outside after all danger of frost is passed. Young plants overwinter best if mulched in the fall. When to Sow: sow your stratified seeds in trays or pots indoors in late winter or early spring, 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Alternately, sow unstratified seeds outdoors in late summer to early winter. Sowing Depth: Surface sow. Blue Lobelia seeds require some light for germination. Ideal Germination Temperature: 60-70 F. Days to Emergence (stratified seed): 14-21. Seedling Spacing: 1". Mature Plant Spacing: 12". Hardy in zones 4-9.
