Dennerle Plants Hygrophila pinnatifida CUP

Hygrophila pinnatifida is an attractive plant for the midground. It has a distinctive reddish colour and features lavishly feathered leaves like flamboyant feathers in a hat. Its unusual appearance compensates a little for it slow growing habit and can reach a maximum height of 40 cm.

Note: Watch out if you have snails! Some species like to eat the Hygrophila pinnatifida.
