Is blue Lobelia hanging plant deer resistant?
I know lobelia is considered an annual, but is it self-seeding? Or will I need to replace the plants every year? If it is self-seeding, when will it be "safe" to remove the dead growth?
Although not always typical, annual lobelia does occasionally have the propensity to self-seed under good growing conditions. To alleviate this, simply cut off the blooms once faded.
I got a pink trailing lobelia hanging plant for Mother's day and now it's looking a bit leggy with not many flowers. Should I deadhead this or trim the entire plant back?
I got the plant from Walmart, and fall and winter is coming. Can I bring the plant in and keep it growing in the winter or will she die because she is a plant that lasts only a year?
Lobelia is an annual plant, not suited to living in a house. It is possible to save the seeds, though, and start them in the spring. Your plant may also have small plantlets growing from the base that can be started as separate plants.

What do I need to do to winter over this plant? I've been reading all kinds of articles and no one mentions what to do to try to winter over this plant. I am in zone 5a. Should I cut it back to 2-3 inches cover with hay and pray it comes back next year?

Will annual lobelia grow in ericaceous compost? It's in a hanging basket with lithodora.
Though ericaceous compost is ideal for acid loving plants, your lobelia should be just fine.

My tomatoes grew big and flowered but did not produce tomatoes. I was told it could be because I did not have bees around, so I'm planting these Lobelias in hopes of attracting Bees!
Yes, lobelia does attract bees, and specifically so with Great Blue Lobelia (Campanulaceae).
