It performs best in <strong>partial shade<\/strong> and is recommended to be planted along with other <strong>cool season crops<\/strong> for best blooming.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Blue occupies a uniquely soft and versatile position within the full Regatta color range and the broader trailing lobelia palette. Regatta Sky Blue produces an abundance of sky-blue blossoms that cascade gracefully over the edges of hanging baskets, <strong>larger<\/strong> <strong>containers<\/strong>, and <strong>colorful bowls<\/strong> \u2014 blooming up to <strong>4 weeks earlier<\/strong> than other trailing varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Where Saphir Special delivers an intense, saturated cobalt-electric blue \u2014 bold and dramatic \u2014 Sky Blue offers a softer, cooler, more delicate pale blue that evokes clear summer skies. The white eye adds its characteristic bicolor sparkle without competing with the gentle tone of the flower. This makes Sky Blue one of the most widely compatible lobelia colors \u2014 light enough to harmonize with virtually any companion planting color, yet distinctive enough to register clearly in mixed basket and container compositions.<\/p>\n<p>Regatta Sky Blue has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit \u2014 one of the most respected garden plant recognitions in the world, given to plants that perform reliably and well under garden conditions. This recognition reflects the variety&#8217;s consistent performance, reliability, and high ornamental value across a range of conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regatta Sky Blue within the Regatta Collection \u2014 Color Positioning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The four Regatta varieties available in this collection form a complete, harmonious color palette for container and basket design. Regatta Rose provides warm carmine-rose. Regatta Blue Splash provides white with blue splashes \u2014 airy and painterly. Regatta Sky Blue provides soft pale sky-blue with white eye \u2014 delicate and celestial. Combined with Saphir Special&#8217;s intense electric blue, these four varieties cover the full spectrum from deep saturated blue through pale sky-blue, from white-splashed to warm rose \u2014 enabling diverse, professionally composed container combinations.<\/p>\n<h3>Variety Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Variety: <strong>Regatta Sky Blue<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Series: <strong>Regatta<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Awards: <strong>RHS Award of Garden Merit<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Species: <strong>Lobelia erinus pendula<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Family: <strong>Campanulaceae<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower color: <strong>Soft pale sky blue with white eye<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flower diameter: <strong>~2 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Trailing length: <strong>20\u201325 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Height: <strong>15\u201320 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Spread: <strong>25\u201330 cm<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Habit: <strong>Trailing, mounded, cascading, no grassy centers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Germination: <strong>15\u201321 days at 20\u201322\u00b0C with light<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Early flowering advantage: <strong>Up to 4 weeks earlier than standard trailing varieties<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>RHS Award of Garden Merit \u2014 internationally recognized mark of reliable garden performance.<\/li>\n<li>Soft pale sky blue with white eye \u2014 the most delicate, versatile blue in the trailing lobelia range.<\/li>\n<li>Wider color compatibility than deep blue \u2014 harmonizes with virtually every companion color.<\/li>\n<li>Regatta series \u2014 flowers up to 4 weeks earlier than standard trailing lobelia.<\/li>\n<li>Vigorous cascading habit, no grassy centers \u2014 sustained floriferous display all season.<\/li>\n<li>Excellent for hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed container combinations.<\/li>\n<li>Attracts butterflies and small pollinators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Plant Information<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Plant type: <strong>Tender annual (perennial in zones 10\u201311)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Family: <strong>Campanulaceae<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Habit: <strong>Trailing, mounded, cascading<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Sun: <strong>Partial sun to partial shade \u2014 best performance in partial shade; full sun tolerated in cool conditions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Soil: <strong>Moist, fertile, well-drained soil or container mix<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Water: <strong>Keep consistently moist \u2014 do not allow to dry out<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Spacing: <strong>15\u201320 cm; multi-pelleted clumps naturally produce fuller containers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Seed Germination<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Seed depth: <strong>Surface sow; press lightly; do NOT cover \u2014 light aids germination<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Germination time: <strong>15\u201321 days at 20\u201322\u00b0C<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Critical moisture: <strong>Maintain high moisture (saturated to medium-wet). seeds that dry out become hard \u2014 use plastic domes or regular misting throughout germination.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Place seeds on surface of fine, moist, sterile seed-starting mix.
