Akia
Wikstroemia uva-ursi
Endemic to Kauai. A native coastal plant. Grows to 2-5 ft. tall with comparable width. Requires full sun to partial shade and well drained soil. Slow growing, and once established, water only once or twice per month. Tiny yellow flowers develop which eventually turn into small orange or red fruits. Works well in containers, as a ground cover, in border plantings, low hedge or as a focal plant.
