    Has anyone seen any trailing lobelia for sale? I have really struggled to find any the last few years. I can get the bushy type everywhere.

    I got some from one of my local GC's a couple of weeks ago, in the usual blue plus mixed colours. Rather a long trek for you though @Butterfly6 :biggrin:.

      I think it would be @Plantminded Is it a real local GC or one of the chains?

      Unfortunately our local B&M doesn’t do plants @infradig. I must look up where our next nearest one is and see if they do

      Not a chain @Butterfly6, a local family owned business.

      B&Q have some, I’ve just checked online :).

        Thanks @Spruce will have a look in B&Q when we next go past. Our Range just had the bushy lobelia a couple days ago or big ready planted pots of the trailing. The latter looked lovely but I don’t need any more pots!
