Description
Lobelia angulata, commonly known as trailing lobelia, is a delicate, creeping or trailing herb native to New Zealand. It thrives in damp forests, wetlands, and shaded stream banks, forming low-growing mats. The plant features small, bright green, rounded leaves and produces tiny, pale blue to white, star-like flowers with a hint of purple, blooming throughout the year. Its spreading habit makes it an excellent ground cover for moist, shaded areas. Lobelia angulata plays a role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for insects. It is valued in native plant gardens and ecological restoration projects for its ornamental and ecological benefits.
