Persicaria hydropiper is a unique, fast-growing stem like plant that can be added to emersed sections of your aquascape. It produces vivid green and red colors that work great in paludariums given its fast, marginal growth in natural settings. It can adapt to submerged conditions where its leaves become softer and may produce green and pink tones. Persicaria is a good option for aquarium hobbyists or plant enthusiasts in search of a unique plant that can be grown many different ways. It's a fast grower and will need to be pruned on occasion!
