Not all Lobelias trail. Which did you buy - do you remember the name? If
it had 'Fountain' in the name, for example, it should be trailing. I
think
you would do best if next year you ask your nursery or garden centre which
*are* the trailing ones in their collection and which are not.

They were definitely labelled "trailing lobelia". I wanted them for the
baskets, and did not buy the bush lobelia ones. I may have the label spike
somewhere for the latin name.
