This is my first year trying out the Laguna Compact Blue With eye (lobelia hybrid). The tag says that it is from the company Proven Winners.
I have two of them in pots. One is doing fine. The other is in a pot with Calibrichoa's. They have been doing wonderfully (see picture). All of a sudden about a week ago the Laguna started to droop as if it were dried out. I watered it and it hasn't come back. All of the flowers have wilted and it is literally just laying there. It still appears to be green but it doesn't seem to want to bounce back.
Do you think I should cut it back or just let it be. I'm not sure how to handle it, it used to be beautiful!

Lobelia doesn't like heat or humidity, it will stop blooming and just sit there until the weather cools. Go ahead and cut it back by half to let it rest. Water like you normally would while it is resting.
