Vallisneria Tortifolia
Vallisneria tortifolia
Family: Hydrocharitaceae
The corkscrew Vallisneria produces striking, tightly twisted ribbon leaves that spiral as they grow. Unlike straight Vallisneria species it stays at a medium height (20–40 cm), making it more versatile in mid-sized tanks. A distinctive textural element in planted tank backgrounds, especially effective in Dutch Style rows.
