Limnophila Aromatica "Red"

Limnophila Aromatica "Red" - Potted Plants (Imported Plants)

Limnophila aromatica "Red" is an especially interesting, relatively small form of the Aromatic Limnophila. It has two, sometimes also three leaves per node. Its submerged foliage shows red tones. The stems are about 2 mm thick, olive green to brown red. The narrowly lanceolate leaves have a serrated edge and get to about 5,5 cm long and 9 mm wide. This plant looks similar to Limnophila sp. "Belem" but differs by a darker red stem and mostly lacking red blotches on the leaves.
In its terrestrial (emersed) form, this Limnophila also resembles Proserpinaca palustris. However it has two leaves, Proserpinaca only one leaf on each node.
