From Eastern Africa, growing on the lower slopes of mountains and in valleys. this giant lobelia can grow up to 5m tall in it's native habitat! The leaves are in rosettes and can reach 30cm+. The flowering spike can add another 2m+ to the height, so a proper giant!. Not reliably hardy in the UK, but in the milder microclimates where conditions are damp and frost free, it can successfully grow outside all year round.
