Lobelia siphilitica (Great Blue Lobelia) [50 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, partly because they are very tiny and partly because they may require some patience. The easiest approach is to surface-sow the seeds in a pot in late fall to late winter, setting them outdoors so they can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing approach works well with these seeds.)

If you sow after February, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 2 months.

It is possible that these seeds could germinate (though perhaps at a less than optimal rate) when sown in pots in warm conditions, either indoors or outside. If you don’t see any signs of sprouting after about 3 weeks, then give the pot an artificial chilling period as mentioned above.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Please read the description as well before ordering.
