How to Grow a Lobelia Plant From a SeedLobelia siphilitica, also known as Great Blue Lobelia, is a flowering perennial that produces impressive blue blooms that attract hummingbirds.Instructions1.Fill a shallow, flat growing container with 2 to 3 inches of fine grade peat and sow the seeds about 1/4-1/2 inch below the surface. Scatter the seeds only a couple of inches apart, as they will be transplanted immediately after germination. Germination is the term used to describe when a seedling sprouts from a seed.2.Wet down the peat thoroughly, but not so much that it is soggy. Place the container in an area that receives plenty of light--either sunlight or under growing lights. Keep the peat moist over the next two to three weeks until germination occurs.3.Transplant the small seedlings into small individual growing containers or trays four to six weeks after germination. Use the same type of peat that was used for germination.4.Keep the peat moist over the next four weeks as the seedlings grow and establish themselves. Feed the young seedlings with a balanced liquid plant fertilizer once every 2 weeks.5.Dig holes for each plant in an area that gets full sunlight to light shade, and space the holes eight to 12 inches apart. Mix plenty of peat moss into the soil. Water the area deeply after planting, and frequently thereafter. The lobelia likes lots of water and regular feedings of fertilizer as it continues to grow.
