Ascend past 3000 m (9800 ft) on the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda and you will discover this strikingly tall giant lobelia rising among the heather forest. Lobelia stuhlmannii’s slender, leaf-scarred stem can reach several meters and is topped with a leafy rosette. When the plant matures, a flowering spike will grow above the rosette, adding 1 to 3 m (3 to 10 ft) in height. Though primarily found in the mossy heather forest zone, L. stuhlmannii also ranges lower portions of the alpine zone, up to 3600 m (11800 ft). It shares alpine bogs with scattered giant groundsels and the everlasting flower.
Minimum tested germination rate is 55%
