Pakalana (Telosma Cordata) is also called Chinese Violet. Like Plumeria or Pikake, it's neither Hawaiian nor a Polynesian introduced plant. Brought to the islands in the mid 1800's from China, it symbolizes the blending of cultures that characterizes Hawai‘i's rich, multicultural heritage.
Pakalana blooms with small, yellow-green flowers that emit a fragrance so divine, it rivals even the most fragrant blossoms in Paradise. Local Hawaiians favor this flower for lei making, often stringing it in odd-numbered strands (such as 1, 3, or 5 strands), or weaving it with other local favorites like Crown Flowers or Pikake, creating strikingly fragrant combinations.
This flower is seasonal and is not available year-round; it blooms best from April to September. However, with our Forever Sculpture Lei, you can now enjoy the timeless beauty of Pakalana anytime. When infused with a Pakalana perfume, you can experience the flower's unforgettable scent year-round.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty of your lei, store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposure to chemicals and extreme temperatures.
