Re: great blue

Mine are in full sun and stand up fine.  They reseeded farther west which is a
very low spot where water collects, so at times it is a soggy mess there. 
They seem to thrive there this year which I found interesting.

Lobelia siphilitica, Great Blue Lobelia.
I put 3 in in early spring 2008.  They did sorta ok the first year, just
getting their legs.  This year they are thick and full with lush blue flowers,
but they are a floppy, twirly mess.   Not like the pretty pictures of staight
up spikes I see on the net.  They are in part shade.  Would they be more erect
in full sun?
