Sue's Notes about Lobelia x speciosa 'Vedrariensis'

Although this plant is perennial it can be a bit tricky to get through the winter as it is prone to rotting. Many growers recommend a dry mulch of bark chips or similar. It's also very attractive to slugs. But it is easily grown from seed as an insurance against loss.
