Re: What I wish I hadn't planted


When I bought it at Las Pilitas, it was described as a native. So I think it must be L. dunnii var. serrata. Away from home now, so I can't key it out, but that's what it looks in TJM2, where it's described as rhizomed, which it certainly is.

Tom -

Do you mean Lobelia laxiflora? Usually called Mexican Lobelia, it range extends into Arizona. It does naturalize to some extend (it is considered as such in Portugal). Yes, I could see that this one could be a problem in an area in which you wanted something else to grow as well (i.e. it would take over). But it is also good for the occasional 'hell strips' where little else will grow!
