  • Lobelia?

    I've got some lobelia planted in the holes of a 'strawberry pot', they've flowered and are looking a bit sad now. Should I cut them back to encourage them to regrow, or are they over already?

    Give them a boost with a quick acting feed such as miracle-gro -I wouldn't cut them back justyet.

          Hello SBP. In my book Lobelia is one of those plants which is dead easy and dead fikey. When I lived in Argyll it grew like a weed, and appeared every year like a hardy perenial. It seeded itself in the cracks in the paths, the gravel drives and every where else. Here in Dumbarton, it won't grow at all for me.Likewise the Allysum. It grew the size of cauliflowers in Argyll, but here, impossible. I would cut the Lobelia back and water it well. In Argyll I had 88 inches of rain a year! I think I would say it is over fot this year but good luck. You may get a late show.

          From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
