Description
Lobelia erinus 'White Cascade' is a small, bushy, trailing annual with dense green foliage. It flowers profusely from June until September, displaying masses of small, bright white, butterfly-like blooms. Perfect for filling out hanging baskets and containers!
Lobelia erinus, also known as edging lobelia, is a popular plant for containers and hanging baskets. It produces numerous slender, branched stems which come together to form soft, rounded cushions. Leaves are small and narrow, light green to dark green in colour; all summer long, they are smothered in abundant blooms. Each flower measures about 1 cm long, with a tubular base, flaring out into three large downward-facing petals and two smaller upward-facing petals. They are regularly visited by foraging insects.
Lobelia is a great edging plant for sunny borders and summer bedding schemes. It shines in containers and hanging baskets, effortlessly blending in and highlighting other summer-flowering annuals. It enjoys a sunny position, preferably shaded from scorching afternoon heat, in moist, well-drained soil. It suffers from drought, so make sure to water regularly. For extra vigour, feed with fertilizer once every so often. In the right growing conditions, Lobelia will flower continuously from early summer until October.
Lobelia seeds are best left to experienced, seasoned gardeners as they are extremely small, like fine dust.

Planting and care
The Lobelia 'White Cascade' is preferably sown under cover in a tray from March, as the seeds will prefer a temperature between 18 and 24°C.
To distribute the fine seeds of the Lobelia more easily, mix them with a little sand. Just cover the seeds with a very thin layer of substrate that you will keep slightly moist. Place them in the sun (essential) and if possible, wrap the tray in transparent plastic film during the germination period. They will germinate between 14 and 21 days. As soon as they sprout, remove the protective film. When the seedlings are large enough to be moved, you can separate them and put them in buckets if the frost period is not over and keep them warm. Otherwise, you can arrange them in flower boxes or pots. You can gradually acclimate them if the nights are still cool by taking them out of their shelter during the day. Prefer a rich substrate, but not too waterlogged.
Be sure to water the Lobelias regularly, but avoid excess water.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
