How to grow Lobelia angulata in NZ

Growing Lobelia angulata in NZ is simple as it thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well drained soils. It is naturally found in damp areas and along forest edges, so regular watering in dry periods helps maintain lush growth. Plant in spring or autumn for best establishment. Mulching around young plants conserves soil moisture. With its adaptability, Lobelia angulata flourishes in many NZ garden settings.
