If anyone would like to try Lobelia tupa I have several large clumps which I will be splitting in the autumn and I would be happy to give it away (FOC!) - it's not invasive and it's better than it looks in the photo!
Can I have some for my garden. You can e-mail me when you are dividing it and I can collect if that is okay. It obviously grows fine beside the sea? I have to watch what we plant because of the location.
You are on the list! There are also some other good things for seaside exposure with silvery foliage such as Santolina which I can give you cuttings from - actually with the impending wedding, probably better if you come and get them yourself as I shall forget to water them I expect. Does anyone know why silvery foliaged plants tend to be resistant to the sea?
