Echinodorus ‘Red Edge’ is a striking rosette-style aquarium plant known for its broad green leaves with rich red to maroon edging. This plant grows upright and tall, making it an ideal background or focal point specimen in medium to large freshwater tanks.
As it matures, the leaf edges intensify in colour under stronger lighting and nutrient-rich environments, especially with adequate iron supplementation. A favourite among aquascapers for its bold form and low-maintenance care, ‘Red Edge’ works beautifully in nature-style and Dutch-style layouts.
