Lobelia Erinus Riviera Blue Splash Seeds<\/h2>\n

(Compact Mounded Edging Lobelia \u2014 White with Blue Splash, Extra-Early, Riviera Series)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The compact habit makes for a great splash of color in flower beds and mixed combinations. The extra early-flowering series<\/strong> blooms about 15 days earlier<\/strong> than standard varieties, with ball-shaped plants that stay compact and mounded, perfect for beds<\/strong>, borders<\/strong>, containers<\/strong>, and color bowls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riviera Blue Splash shares its distinctive reverse-bicolor pattern with Regatta Blue Splash \u2014 white petals marked with blue throat and blue splashing \u2014 but brings this pattern to a fundamentally different plant form. Where Regatta Blue Splash trails and cascades from basket and container edges as a “spiller,” Riviera Blue Splash forms a mounded plant habit with striking blue and white blooms that create a stunning visual impact in flower beds and mixed combinations.<\/p>\n

The unique color combination<\/strong> \u2014 white with a blue throat and picotee<\/strong>-type markings<\/strong> \u2014 is a standout within the Riviera series. The picotee character \u2014 blue markings at the margins and throat of a white flower \u2014 creates an impressionistic, watercolor-splashed quality lighter and more painterly than any solid-color lobelia. In a massed border planting, the overall effect at distance reads as a cool silver-blue haze; up close, the individual flower pattern reveals its intricate detail and charm.<\/p>\n

Riviera Blue Splash looks great in containers and close-up landscapes. The bicolor white-and-blue pattern rewards close viewing in a way that solid-color varieties do not \u2014 making it particularly well suited to intimate container plantings on patios, balconies, and terraces where plants are observed at short range.<\/p>\n

Within the Riviera series at myorganicworld.net, Blue Splash occupies the same unique visual niche as in the Regatta series \u2014 the lightest, most open and airy pattern in the range, distinct from the solid colors of Rose and Midnight Blue, and functioning as a visual bridge and harmonizer between stronger adjacent colors in mixed plantings.<\/p>\n

Riviera Blue Splash vs Regatta Blue Splash \u2014 Key Differences<\/h3>\n

Both varieties share the same white-with-blue-splash flower pattern. The fundamental difference is growth habit and series. Regatta Blue Splash is a trailing pendula variety \u2014 it cascades from basket and container edges as a “spiller.” Riviera Blue Splash is a compact mounded upright variety \u2014 it forms neat ball-shaped mounds for border edging and container filling as a “filler.” Choose Regatta Blue Splash for hanging baskets and cascading container edges; choose Riviera Blue Splash for structured mounded border edging, mass bedding, and container centers.<\/p>\n

        Seed Germination<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Seed depth: Surface sow \u2014 press lightly; do NOT cover; light required for germination<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Germination time: 14\u201321 days at 18\u201324\u00b0C; sowing to flowering approximately 16 weeks <\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Ideal germination temperature: 18\u201324\u00b0C<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • All germination requirements identical to Riviera Rose and Riviera Midnight Blue. Surface sow on moist, fine, well-drained seed-starting mix.<\/li>\n
        • Mix seeds with fine sand for even distribution. Press lightly without covering.<\/li>\n

        • Transplant in small clumps of 3\u20135 seedlings per position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Growing Tips<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • All growing requirements identical to Riviera Rose and Riviera Midnight Blue.<\/li>\n
          • Start 8\u201310 weeks before desired transplanting date.<\/li>\n
          • Transplant in clumps of 3\u20135 seedlings 10\u201315 cm apart in full sun to partial shade.<\/li>\n
          • Lobelias flower more freely when daylength is longer than 12 hours. Lighting plants when days are shorter than 12 hours speeds flowering. Light shading helps produce a better crop when plants are growing under hot weather.<\/li>\n
          • In Gulf conditions during short-day autumn months, supplemental lighting extending the day to 12+ hours maximizes the early-flowering advantage of the Riviera series.<\/li>\n
          • The white-with-blue-splash pattern is particularly effective in close-up plantings \u2014 window boxes, trough planters, patio containers, and terrace pots where the intricate bicolor detail can be appreciated at short range.<\/li>\n
          • At planting distance in mass border schemes, the overall effect reads as a cool, luminous blue-white haze that brightens shaded positions and lightens visually heavy color combinations.
            \nKeep consistently moist.<\/li>\n
          • Feed every 2\u20133 weeks with balanced liquid fertilizer.<\/li>\n
          • Cut back by half if flowering slows in warming spring temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Complete Riviera Series Positioning \u2014 Gulf Collection<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • The four Riviera series varieties at myorganicworld.net now form a complete and complementary upright compact collection: Riviera Rose (warm magenta-pink, boldest and most assertive), Riviera Midnight Blue (deepest navy-midnight, darkest and most intense), Riviera Blue Splash (white with blue splashing, lightest and most airy), alongside Crystal Palace (deep blue-violet on bronze foliage, RHS AGM). Together these cover a full spectrum from darkest to lightest, from warm to cool, from solid to splashed \u2014 providing every visual role needed for border edging, mass planting, and container filling throughout the Gulf cool season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Gulf Planting Season<\/h3>\n
                \n
