Lysimachia parvifolia 'Red'

Lysimachia parvifolia 'Red' has small, rounded leaves resembling baby spinach, which is why it is sometimes called Samolus parviflorus 'Red'. Unlike the green Samolus parviflorus, it is reddish.

A reddish tone appears even in simple aquarium conditions; with better light and nutrients the leaves deepen in colour – an accent plant for the midground or background. On Tropica's difficulty scale it is an easy plant (Easy).

With regular trimming it grows upright and compact, and it responds well to replanting of cut shoots. Stable conditions and balanced nutrients give good colour, according to the manufacturer.

The plant is sold in a 1-2 Grow cup.
