| At last, Lobelia in all the bright colors and combinations you love, plus a floriferous trailing habit that just begs to tumble over the sides of baskets and planters! Cascade Mix gives you half a dozen of the merriest shades yet on a long-blooming plant just 6 inches tall! Beginning with the hot weather in summer and continuing right on into fall, this floriferous treat is nothing but blooms, blooms, and more blooms! The foliage is actually quite interesting -- narrow and toothy -- but don't plan on seeing too much of it after the flowers start coming! Cascade spreads just about as far as you need it to, tumbling a foot or more from baskets, hitting the ground from tall planters, and completely hiding flower pouches! The blooms are small -- just 1/2-inch -- but unusual two-lipped petal form makes them stand out, and there are so many that from a distance they become a glittering waterfall of color! Cascade Mix sports bright, clear shades of llilac, white, carmine red, sky blue, pink, and deep blue dotted with a white eye. My personal favorite is the pink, just because it's the first time we've been able to offer such a splendid shade of this less-common color, but I've heard raves about the carmine, and everyone is charmed by the white eye on the midnight-blue! They all work well together in a long windowbox or grouped planting, or you can pull individual color combinations for different effects on the patio. Lobelia likes full sun to part shade and moist, well-drained soil. Keep it well watered and fed for best blooming over a very long season. Pkt is 100 seeds. |
