Description

Lindernia grandiflora is native to Florida and has a creeping habit when grown emersed, producing beautiful flowers. It is also available in the ornamental house or garden plant trade in the USA under one of its cultivars, 'Blue White'. Additionally, it can be cultivated submersed in aquaria, although this use is still relatively unknown outside of the USA.
