Naupaka

For your other half

Hawaiian legend tells of two lovers who were parted, one sent to the mountains and one to the sea. The naupaka blossom grows as half a flower, and its other half blooms far away. Many families say the two halves will meet again.

Plant beach naupaka for your husband, your wife, or your partner. For the one who made you whole.

Caring for your plant

• Full sun.
• Loves wind and salt air, so it does well near the ocean.
• Needs little water once it settles in, and grows into a full, round shrub.

Each plant is about two to three feet tall when you take it home.
