Description

Lobelia erinus 'Rosamond' is an annual reaching 6" tall and 1' wide. It cascades, trails and clumps into mounds. It can take full to partial sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Flowers are mauve colored with a white eye, blooming from spring mid-summer. After flowering has subsided during the summer, shear Lobelia, add light fertilizer and irrigate to promote another round of blooms.

Water Saving Tip:

An easy water-wise improvement in lawn areas is to change high output spray sprinkler nozzles to low-flow rotators.

You'll have less runoff and be less likely to apply more water than is needed.
