Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with moist, rich soil and partial shade, especially in hotter climates. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and mulch to retain moisture. Great Blue Lobelia may self-sow in favorable conditions. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Great Blue Lobelia (\u003cem\u003eLobelia siphilitica\u003c\/em\u003e) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835990999350,"sku":"FOLIA2-1583","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7511065308_6dhd.jpg?v=1793096957","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/great-blue-lobelia-seeds-lobelia-siphilitica-native-blue-flowers-500-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
