Myriophyllum heterophyllum

Myriophyllum heterophyllum is a lovely, and less well known Myriophyllum that grows luxuriantly and is less light demanding that M. aquaticum when used in the aquarium. The reddish stems in the full “feather duster” stems are particularly attractive. Regular trimming is needed to keep it looking its best.
