Are you sure it wasn't a plant sold as "purple waffle?" I bought that plant
in Florida once on travel and it died within a week of being submerged. As
others have stated, it was sold as a "true aquatic". I have had one Lobelia
Cardinalis cut over a dozen times in the past 2 years. No special
treatment, but it is a heavy root feeder. Example of the plant I'm
describing is he

I successfully grew this plant in a 37 gal with 2 WPG at the surface and now
in my 75 gal with 3 WPG at the surface. The plant actually grew better in
my 37 gal tank. Go figure that one? Anyway YMMV and good luck!

Well,

I didn't think I'd be reporting back so quickly, but this plant
is seriously not aquatic, despite the tag claiming "True aquatic!" It
took maybe a week or two for the roots to completely rot out and die.

Oh well.
