Product Description
Your summertime hanging baskets and window boxes have rarely looked so impressive, thanks to the remarkable blooms of Lobelia 'Trail Away'.
Exceptional flowers make their mark, despite their dainty and small stature, with a combination of subtle blue and purple shades, accented by a divine white.
Simple to grow, these fabulous flowers grow with panache, smattering across the plant of green foliage from as early as May, remaining impressive as late as November.
Happy when planted in either full sun or partial shade, these superb trailing Lobelia look remarkable and produce an effortless display in pots and baskets, particularly when planted alongside other summer-flowering varieties, such as Petunias or Verbenas.
Supplied as a pack of 24 plug plants, ready to grow on, before planting out.

Care Guide
Planting Advice:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
- Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry.
- They don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
- Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
Aftercare advice:
- Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous containers that last the whole season.
- Check and water containers every day in summer, (unless the compost is wet).
- Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
- From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.
- Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
- Do not allow plants to set seed.
