Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' 1-2-Grow!

Sometimes plants are surprised by the sudden departure from the way they normally grow. This is called mutation and Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' is a good example of this. Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' is therefore derived from the general production of Lobelia cardinalis. It is characterized by its lovely pale green leaves that are closer together than in the original Lobelia, and then it is also considerably smaller, hence the addition of "Mini" to the plant's name.

Growth is low and dense, as the plant branches readily, even without mowing. In addition, the mini version rarely forms the large vertical shoots that otherwise characterise Lobelia cardinalis.

It is easily propagated by planting the cut shoots down to the bottom layer. Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' becomes more compact in conditions of good light and additional CO2, but thrives without.
