Cascade of Colors will bloom from early spring to early summer, in warm climates they will bloom winter and into the spring. The 1/2 inch tubular flowers are blue, lilac, red, ruby, and white. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or in mild areas, and plant in late summer for winter color. They are very effective for all-season bloom along the edges of flower beds. The Lobelia Cascade of Color, 'Lobelia erinus', displays a cascade of small jewel-toned flowers on graceful, trailing foliage. For best results, pinch tips for bushy growth, and trim lightly after the first flowers fade. They need to be kept well watered and moist. Lobelia are excellent for window boxes, large containers and hanging baskets. ... details
