Description
Lobelia erinus 'Paper Moon' is a small, compact, herbaceous annual, widely used for hanging baskets and summer planters. Its numerous, bright white flowers resemble small butterflies and bloom continuously from June to September. They stand out against its light green foliage. Its compact habit gives volume to compositions.
Lobelia erinus is a must-have for container gardening. Its numerous, slender, branching stems form a ball that fills hanging baskets throughout the summer and blends in with taller summer plants. Its small, alternate, obovate, and slightly crinkled leaves create a background for the many flowers that bloom all summer. Approximately 1 cm (0in) in size, the flowers are tubular at the base and then flare out into three downward petals and two small upward ones, resembling insect antennae. They are regularly visited by pollinating insects.
Lobelia also works on its own in pots, brightening up every corner of patios and terraces. You can plant it to border the edge of a flower bed, especially if you have a small garden, preferably in a sunny (not scorching) spot, or partial shade. Just make sure not to let it dry out, which it doesn't like. It prefers moist but not waterlogged soil. An application of fertiliser will give it even more vigour, and if the climate is suitable, it will easily bloom until October.
The 'Paper Moon' Lobelia has a brightness that is very useful for enhancing soft and pastel compositions. It adds dynamism to compositions with outdated colours. You can also pair it with darker summer plants to create contrast, such as Calibrachoa Sweet Bells Midnight Blue or Petunia Mystical Black Magic. Sow lots of this Lobelia, will always find a place for it among the summer plants in your containers.
Attention, these seeds are reserved for experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust and barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Lobelia 'Paper Moon' is best sown under shelter in a tray from March, as the seeds prefer a temperature between 18 and 24°C to germinate
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 soil, kept slightly moist. Place them in the sun (essential) and if possible wrap the tray in transparent plastic film during germination. They will sprout between 14 and 21 days. As soon as they emerge, remove the protective film. When the seedlings are large enough to be moved, you can separate them, put them in pots if the freezing period is not over and keep them warm. Otherwise, plant them in flowerbeds or pots. You can gradually acclimatise them if the nights are still cool by taking them out of their shelter during the day. They prefer rich substrate, not too waterlogged.
Make sure to water Lobelias regularly, but not to excess.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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).
