    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This very rare South African Lobelia is native to open grasslands of the Western Cape. It makes a short, 1’ tall, tufted, evergreen shrublet of narrow toothed leaves. Blooming almost year around, it bears beautiful, 1”, deep blue-violet “Lobelia” flowers along the upright stems. Quite easy to grow!
