Isnt this a garden plant? I saw one at the store about 2 day's ago...I liked it, but when I looked it up it just brought up the garden form..... anyone know if its a true aquatic plant or not? (im guessing not)

If you are talking about Lobelia cardinalis, then yes it is an aquatic plant.

No problem. See if you can find the small form. The large form grows quite large.

Here is my Lobelia cardinalis small form or dwarf:
