Lobelia anceps (previously Lobelia alata) is a hardy, fast growing ground-cover with small bright green leaves.
It bears many small but beautiful sky blue flowers almost all year round but en masse from August to March.
The flowers attract tiny insects that provide food for frogs and lizards.
It grows naturally in marshy areas but also does very well in a normally irrigated garden.
Makes a lovely edging plant and beautiful hanging basket.
Size 10 to 15cm
