white lobelia plants
White lobelia plants, known botanically as Lobelia angulata, are a delightful choice for gardeners seeking a delicate native groundcover or a beautiful addition to woodland or shade gardens. This charming New Zealand native, sometimes fondly called "pānakenake", is renowned for its dainty white flowers, fresh green foliage, and ability to thrive in shady spots where few other plants can flourish. Lobelia angulata is a herbaceous perennial that forms lovely mats, perfect for softening path edges, filling in between stepping stones, or adding a layer of interest beneath taller shrubs.

Panakenake
Lobelia angulata is a charming NZ native groundcover admired for its small, bright green leaves and delicate white star shaped flowers that bloom through spring and summer. This creeping perennial quickly spreads to form a dense mat, making it ideal for filling gaps in rockeries, between pavers, or as an underplanting. Hardy and low maintenance, it adds subtle beauty and resilience to NZ gardens while supporting biodiversity in naturalistic landscapes.
