Lobelia laxiflora is a
hardy free flowering perennial in our area. In the inland valleys
Lobelia laxiflora will die back to the ground when the temperatures drop
into the low 20's. In frost free zones Lobelia laxiflora will almost
never stop blooming. The plants will tolerate a low water garden but
prefer moist soils. A moist situation can encourage Lobelia
laxiflora to become invasive. I generally cut the plants to the
ground each winter because this is the easiest way to get rid of all of
the old scraggly looking plant material. And they recover very
quickly.
