Description

This is one of the easiest and rewarding plants in the Lobelia family to grow and maintain in a landscape. Delissea can be grown as understory plants under trees protected by shrubs and ferns. Though not lowland plants, they do well at near sea level in pots or in the landscape provided they have good drainage. [David Eickhoff, Native Plants Hawai-i]
