Thanks, Weezingreens. I wondered whether the sun/heat had something to do with my dying lobelia. As for 'dampening off', I have yet to attempt planting from seedlings (though it certainly would be cheaper!) I imagine that would require lots of space and grow lights? (which I don't have!) And to 'NatureWalker', thanks for the info and links you emailed me!

Now, I have a question on Hibiscus! I purchased 3 plants at a clearance sale the first week in July, planted them immediately as one looked like it was ready to soon bloom. A few weeks later a beautiful huge white flower came out (see photo), but within a few days wilted and fell off. Is this typical of hibiscus? Also, does it really require 'full' sun all day long???
