Lophospermum hybrid (Lophospermum)
Color Name: Lofos® Compact Rose
Transform your outdoor space with this stunning Lophospermum! This vigorous, trailing plant boasts vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and add a splash of color to any garden. Lofos Compact Rose is perfect for hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground cover. Easy to care for and drought-tolerant once established, it's the ideal choice for gardeners of all levels.
Growing Tips: Lophospermum thrives in full sun to partial shade. Ideally, provide at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for the best blooms. Use well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Provide trellises or supports if you want them to climb; otherwise, they can trail beautifully from hanging baskets.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
