Lobelia grows best when temps are 55 at night and 75 during the day.

They will grow slowly when the temps are lower.

They will suffer and rot when temps are at 85 or above with high humidity.

Lobile erinus http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/90390/ is from S. Africa, near the coast where the weather stays cool all summer.

Best places to grow lobelia in the USA is the Northern Coast of California to British Columbia - or - at 600-700m on the Big Island of Hawaii.

For Central Florida it is a winter annual, generally. This year it has performed poorly. We have had many days in the mid-80's this 'winter'.
