White-eyed, soft and sumptuous blooms smother cascading Lobelia erinus ‘Laura White’ for ribbons of long-lasting, illuminating flowers. ‘Laura White’ looks stunning pouring over the edge of patio pots, pretty window-boxes or lush and colourful hanging baskets. Plants are tender (H2); hence they are usually grown as annuals in the UK.
A subtle variation of this much-loved and versatile classic summer bedding plant. Lobelia erinus ‘Laura White’ will delight from June to September with a profusion of tumbling, delicate flowers which reach a height and spread of 30cm. Plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and prefer fertile, well-drained soil of any kind - ensure soil is kept moist for best results. Another handy tip is to mix a handful of slow-release fertiliser into your compost when planting to keep Lobelia healthy and productive. No need to deadhead.
