Lobelia Rosamond Lobelia Erinus is a perennial plant native to southern Africa. Lobelia Rosamond seeds can be planted directly outdoors in spring after last frost, but if the seeds started indoors in winter 10 - 12 weeks before the last frost and transplanted later to a garden, the Lobelia plant will start to bloom earlier in late spring. Lobelia is categorized as an annual in most areas of the country except for frost-free zones, and the lovely Lobelia Rosamond has leafy, branching stems that are covered with canopy of carmine-rose colored flowers with white centers. The flowers appear continuously all summer long adding a gorgeous display of pink color to a landscape.

Lobelia Rosamond has a compact and trailing growth habit, and it makes this flower a perfect ground cover or edging plant. Other garden uses include window boxes, hanging baskets, planters, containers, rock and butterfly gardens. Lobelia Erinus seeds germinate in 2 - 3 weeks, and Lobelia Rosamond likes to grow in moist, rich soil, and it does well in hot areas if deep, regular watering is provided. Lobelia self-sows itself once established.
