Vallisneria ‘Rubra’

Vallisneria ‘Rubra’ is a unique variation of Vallisneria known for its long, flowing leaves with subtle brown to bronze tones. Under stronger lighting, these tones become more noticeable, adding warmth and contrast to planted aquariums.

Like other Vallisneria species, it grows quickly and spreads through runners, making it an excellent option for filling background areas. Its natural movement combined with its bronze colouring makes it stand out against standard green plants.
