Brighten Your Garden with Affordable Summer Blooms
Garden enthusiasts looking to inject vibrant colour into their outdoor spaces this summer can now access an economical solution. A Lobelia Bedding Mix, promising blooms from May through October, is currently available, allowing gardeners to create a lively display from spring to autumn without straining their budgets.
Exceptional Value with 60 Seedlings
This particular bundle, retailing at £34.99, includes 60 seedlings, which breaks down to approximately 58p per plant. Notably, the package offers 20 free seedlings in addition to the standard 40, enhancing its value proposition. The Lobelia 'Bedding Mixed' variety features upright growth, ensuring the plants remain compact and ideal for low-growing colour schemes in garden borders, lawns, or containers.
Perfect for various settings, these flowers reach about 25 centimetres in height, making them suitable for window boxes, hanging baskets, and pots around properties. Though individual blooms are small, they appear in high numbers, collectively creating a striking visual impact.
Cultivation Tips for Optimal Growth
To achieve the best results, it is recommended to pot and grow the seedlings under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once safe, they can be transplanted outdoors into well-prepared beds. Gardeners should pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and apply a high-potash fertiliser regularly throughout the summer to support continuous flowering.
Positive Feedback from Satisfied Buyers
Customer reviews highlight the product's durability and aesthetic appeal. One buyer noted, "This was the second year that I have ordered the lobelia bedding. The plants are very healthy and flowered continuously from May through to around November. They looked absolutely stunning and received many compliments." Another reviewer praised the flowers for lasting well past the first frost and beautifully complementing other plants in window boxes.
Further acclaim comes from a shopper who shared, "The plants lasted well into autumn and made a colourful display," underscoring the longevity and vibrancy of these blooms.
Alternative Options for Gardeners
For those seeking variety, other Lobelia mixes are available in the market. These include the Lobelia Laura Mix from J Parker starting at £9.99, the Lobelia 'Cascade Improved Mixed' from Suttons from £7.99, and the Alpine Plants Mega Mix Collection—a pack of six different plants—for £9.99, reduced from £14.99, at Gardening Express.
This assortment of bedding flowers provides an accessible way for gardeners of all skill levels to enhance their outdoor spaces with sustained colour throughout the warmer months.
