In reply to my posting re summer hanging baskets, Sacha mentioned that
lobelia dry out really quickly in hanging baskets. I usually use
cascading
lobelia around the outsides of the basket, but I agree that they do dry
out
quickly and don't really recover afterwards. What else could I use,
instead
of lobelia, that will cover and hide the sides of the basket?

Many thanks.




Hi Susan,

Erigeron karvinskianus would cope very well and be extremely pretty. Alas,
it isn't blue. (It's white/pink/reddish). It will put up with a *little*
bit of shade, although it prefers sun.
