[id: two planters full of annual flowers. one is a mix of silver and dark purple tones, the other pink, blue, and yellow in a green pot /end id]

Took out the poor sunburned Caladiums in my main planter and replaced it with an Artemisia. So now that planter is Night Sky and Violet Star Charm petunias, Silver Falls dichondra in the front, and Artemisia 'Powis Castle' in the back. Which should fill in more as it grows a better root system.

The other is a new one because my mom didn't like that I planted the Giant Pink petunia in a tiny pot lol she's all "I don't want to go crazy with planter this year" but then would not stop bugging me about options to pair with the dang petunia and even got out this pot and filled it with dirt for me?

Right now, the plants in here are Giant Pink supertunias, light blue Lobelia, Magic Carpet mecardonia, Duranta 'Gold Edge', and a Beth's Blue Isotoma. I might just take back the Isotoma and Duranta because idk it's just not doing it for me and I'm not sure if it will fill out nice. Probably will just do more Lobelia and mecardonia around the edges instead.

Hey! Reblogging this to show off some photos of the lobelia in my garden this year.

Michael wanted to do a planting with the colors of the Ukrainian flag this spring so we got some blue lobelia. (Yellow flower is Mecardonia ‘GoldDust.’) No filters, this really is intensely blue.

I also planted some cardinal flower (L. speciosa, 'Starship Scarlet') as a permanent fixture in our south-facing flowerbed which is mostly native regional plants. You can see my very gangly, flopped-over gayfeather behind it:

I did lay down the ‘Starship Deep Rose’ seeds I mentioned in the old post, but as it turns out, my planting spot for them was on an easement, and the whole corner is now being dug up to work on utility lines, so… so much for that.

Witch’s Herbal Entry: Lobelia

Lobelia spp. (We’re going to be discussing multiple species of the genus Lobelia today!)

Common Name: Lobelia, Pukeweed, Gagweed, Asthma Weed, Indian Tobacco, Wild Tobacco, Bladderpod

Type: various by species

Element: Water

Astrological: Saturn

Magical Uses: love (attracting or refusing), calling off storms

Botanical Family: Campanulaceae (Bellflower)

Region of Origin: North America (L. cardinalis, L. siphilitica, and L. inflata); southern Africa (L. erinus)

There are over 400 species in the genus Lobelia found all over the world. Since an exhaustive examination would be well, exhausting, I’ve selected some varieties that you’re most likely to see in the garden or growing natively in North America that you might run into while hiking or camping. Some fit into both camps! There are many beautiful cultivars of cardinal flower and great blue lobelia that are commercially available for the home garden. (I’m especially partial to Burpee’s Starship Deep Rose. I have seeds, but have been nervous to try.)

Above, Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and below, Downy Lobelia (L. puberula). Both native to more than half the continental United States, photographed at Lake Vesuvius in the Wayne National Forest, Ohio.

Lobelia have a wide variety of form and structure; while most only reach a few inches tall, others can get as tall as three feet. In general, they’ll grow pretty much anywhere, tolerate of sun and part shade, though they do like it moist. If you opt for a spot with full sun (at least 5 hours sun exposure daily) be sure to mulch well and water regularly. If you have a damp spot where other plants don’t seem to thrive, consider that as your planting spot. The North American varieties tend to be found in marshy areas or near bodies of water where moisture is plentiful. They can be challenging for a beginning gardener to start from seed–the seeds are very fine and small, and require light to germinate. If starting from seed in a temperate area, you’ll want to start them as early as 10-12 weeks prior to the last frost date for your region (as a point of comparison, many other popular garden flowers only require 4-6 weeks). Generally, they’re summer blooms, and one of those flower groups capable of achieving truly blue flowers. The African L. erinus is an easy find in big box home improvement green houses as “edging lobelia” and comes in multiple shades of white, blue, purples and pinks. Here are some recent (May 2019) photos of a few different cultivars at one of my favorite local garden centers:

(If you’re curious, the bright purpley-fuschia one is ‘Techno Heat Upright Purple’ and the white is ‘Laguna White.’) As you can see, some varieties have a trailing, flopping habit and some are upright. The trailing ones look great in a hanging basket, and edging lobelia in general has a longer window of blooming from late spring to early autumn, which probably explains its commercial popularity. Though technically a perennial, it’s not cold hardy in most regions of the US, and so gets treated as an annual. For perennial lobelia that are a long term investment, stick with upright natives. If you like a bushier plant, pinch them before they form flower spikes, just like basil, and deadhead to encourage reblooming in the same season. You can divide a patch of lobelia probably every 2-3 years to share with friends and neighbors. Fertilization isn’t usually critical for these plants, but if you live in a newer neighborhood where much of the topsoil has been stripped and has not recovered or somewhere that similarly has poor soil, laying down some compost couldn’t hurt. If your’e really serious, a mild fertilizer can be applied every 4-6 weeks during the summer.

The Zuni people used cardinal flower as an ingredient of “schumaakwe cakes” and used it externally for rheumatism and swelling. The Penobscot people smoked the dried leaves as a substitute for tobacco. It may also have been chewed, and lobelia medicine in general was popularized in the 19th century in America. The most commonly used species in modern herbalism is L. inflata, as a treatment for asthma. Despite these uses, all members of Lobelia should be considered toxic–the substance lobeline, which is of course named for the flowers it’s found in, is very similar to nicotine in some ways (hence some of its nicknames, like Indian Tobacco) and can cause dizziness, intense nausea and vomiting. Physically vulnerable people such as children, pregnant women and those with heart conditions in particular should avoid any internal use. 

According to some sources that I’ve yet to get fully concrete, some Native American groups may have used lobelia in religious ceremonies, particularly as an emetic to cure one of the effects of malicious magic, and the finely ground roots added to the food of an arguing couple to make them love one another again. This practice bled into Appalachian folk magic as well–with a short anecdotal story on Dave’s Garden involving this treatment. Other sources state that a lobelia root ceremoniously dug up from the ground should be washed and touched to a person’s body to attract love–while anyone could use it, it was said to be particularly beneficial to older women. With all this talk of love, I find it interesting that many of the codified dictionaries of “the meaning of flowers” so popular in the 1800s, lobelia stood for a refusal of advances. The keywords I often see associated with it are dislike, malevolence, and arrogance. A two-edged sword, if you will. 

The most intriguing use for lobelia I’ve found is for halting storms by tossing some of the dried, powdered herb into the wind.

Do You Clean Up Good? Part One...

My yard “cleans up good.” I never heard that phrase until my early 20s when a neighbor paid me the compliment. I may not recall what special event The Boyfriend/Husband was taking me out for that evening, but the “You clean up good, kid!” I remember like it was yesterday.

Yeah, I’m hanging my head.

This is the sorry state of affairs that I am working with. Just this very day I am learning that…

Annual planter update as it's now getting towards late July.

The Artemesia has gone WILD and I didn't notice. I am so impressed with it as a centerpiece plant especially with the silver dichondra also. I pruned the Night Sky petunia and idk if it's the heat or the prune but it has grown back with significantly less white on the flowers. The Charm petunias were a lot better at staying compact and not getting ugly and leggy... haven't had to do anything to them yet.

The other planter is a little more of a shit show but all the plants are still alive at least. The Mecardonia is not a strong bloomer and the Lobelia considers quitting on me at least once a day. It is not... an enjoyer of blasting afternoon sun and not pleased to share space with a water hog petunia. The petunia, meanwhile grows like some kind of massive tentacle creature and i don't understand what it's meant to look like but it's just.... arms. Ok. That's fine, big pink. And the Duranta is a star. Highly underrated and uncommon tropical leafy creature.

Oh and the 'Diamond Mountain' ate it's pot and shows no sign of stopping.

My annual planters this year as of late June 2019
