Pāwale is the endemic Hawaiian member of the Buckwheat family. It grows well in many areas, tolerating shade, soggy soil, dry periods, and wind. It grows sprawling lianas with large leaves and produces clusters of bright red capsules after blooming that add interesting texture and color in the landscape or garden. Being highly variable and tolerating a wide range of habitats, pāwale is an easy and beautiful endemic plant you can grow almost anywhere.
