Hygrophila Siamensis 53B

Hygrophila siamensis '53B'

Family: Acanthaceae

Ask Finn

A compact, attractive cultivar of Hygrophila siamensis with narrower, slightly undulated leaves that are bright green on top and pale on the underside. Very hardy and fast growing, it works well as a mid-background filler and helps suppress algae through nutrient uptake. Trims well and stays bushy.
