The breeder lists it for early spring and spring and recommends partial sun. Its compact scale works well along a path edge or at the front of a mixed planter. ## Growing conditions Lobelia erinus usually flowers best in cool weather and may stop blooming when heat arrives. Use moist, well-drained soil and sun or partial shade. Illinois Extension recommends watering and shearing plants after the first flush if flowering slows in summer.

Trim back tired stems after the first flush and continue watering to support fresh growth.
