Notes
'Colour Cascade' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Colour Cascade') is an annual for pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers in early to late spring. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, Sedge, and Sweet potato vine.
