Quite a people who write about it seem unable to distinguish between a garden thug and an invasive plant

In mid-to-late summer

Lobelia angulata Lobelia with vertical bands of white(aka: Pratia angulata) We have really enjoyed this wonderful semi evergreen groundcover lobelia from New Zealand in our garden for decades. The zig zag black stems are clothed with tiny round leaves forming a nice 1" tall, ground hugging mat. The patch is topped with small white flowers from late spring through early summer great for the rock garden and very tolerant of moist conditions in full to part sun, where it's tolerant of light foot traffic
