Lobelia Hot Plus Aqua 10" HB

Lobelia Hot Plus Aqua

Bring a splash of refreshing color to your garden with Lobelia Hot Plus Aqua. This next-generation cultivar is part of the improved "Hot Plus" series, specifically bred to deliver larger, more vibrant blooms and superior heat tolerance compared to traditional lobelia varieties. Its stunning aqua-blue flowers with delicate white flares create a cooling "waterfall" effect that lasts from early spring all the way through the first frost.

Key Features

• Vibrant Color: Features profuse, sky-blue flowers that stay bright and saturated throughout the season.

• Heat Tolerant: Unlike older lobelias that "fizzle out" in the summer heat, the Hot Plus series is bred to thrive in warmer temperatures.

• Versatile Habit: A compact, well-branched trailing habit makes it an ideal "spiller" for containers and hanging baskets or a lush filler for garden beds.

• Low Maintenance: Self-cleaning flowers mean no deadheading is required to keep it looking fresh.

Care Tips for Best Results

• Light: In cooler climates, this lobelia loves full sun. If you live in a region with scorching summers, providing some afternoon shade will help maintain its vigor.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Lobelia does not like to dry out completely, but be sure your pots have good drainage to avoid "wet feet."

• Feeding: For non-stop blooms, use a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks throughout the growing season.

• Revival: If the plant begins to look a bit tired in mid-summer, a light shearing (cutting back by about a third) can help rejuvenate the growth and encourage a fresh flush of flowers.

Why You’ll Love It

Lobelia Hot Plus Aqua is a "must-have" for gardeners who want high-impact color without the high-maintenance hassle. It is rabbit-resistant and a favorite for attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
