Re: [SG] Lobelias; Help

I can't get the native red or blue Lobelias to grow.    They die out.  The
fan hybrids come up in spring with variegated foliage which seems to be what
plants do when they are only marginally hardy here.  I have tried the species
several times and several of the fan hybrids and another hybrids.  The only
one which is doing well is 'Wildwood Splendor'.  I know these are supposed to
be hardier than zone 7.  It seems like they either rot out in the winter
(species) or aren't hardy enough and none of this makes any sense as they are
supposed to be marginals and hardier than zone 7.  The one that made it
through the winter and didn't come up with variegated foliage seems to be
doing fine.
