Lobelia inflata / Pukeweed

Pukeweed (also unfortunately titled Indian Tobacco) Lobelia inflata is a North American native perennial with delicate, white flowers that bloom in late summer and resemble the closely related, popular native perennial, Lobelia siphilitica. Traditionally smoked and chewed, it is also an emetic that induces vomiting, hence the common name. Pukeweed grows around 2 feet tall, and prefers full sun to part shade and moist soil.
