Lobelia

Am I right in thinking the slugs will have it away overnight? Just got some plugs of it, looking at them brings back memories of eaten stumps.

 

What type of Lobelia Ziggy?
this?
or this?

Slugs can't leap very high so the latter would be best I think

 

Like the bottom one, Lobelia compact Mrs Clibran it says on the lable.

Wanted it to cascade over the walls, bet it wont.

Had a look Ziggy. It will if you cosset it in prepared MPC troughs. It is only an annual of course. I think it's a lovely plant that deserves all the popularity it commands.

 

Oo, that's good then, got a Bogof on MPC today

 

It was a perennial for me (Herbaceous), bit of a thug, weedy type plant.. fortunately easy to pull out.

Dont let me put anyone off who grows them as annuals though!
