An excellent plant for the edges of ponds, where there might be some unsightly concrete showing. Bright green leaves arranged along a creeping stem which will grow to several feet in length. Will tolerate traffic, frost, extreme heat, and can be used to stabilize wet hilsides. It produces small lavender blossoms all summer. A dwarf water lily that can be grown in your aquarium.
Flowers are a nice medium pink.
Lily needs strong light to bloom indoors. Can be moved out to your pond in the summertime. Re-pot in larger container for outdoor growth and larger flowers. This is by far the most spectacular variety of Echinodorus that we grow. Broad, dark red leaves will grow to 12 inches long or more in the proper setting.
