Alternanthera Lilacina

Alternanthera 'Lilacina' is a robust red stem with broad leaves that show green-to-bronze tops over rich purple-red undersides. It's one of the more forgiving members of the AR family, holding warm color even in moderately lit tanks, though brighter light and CO2 deepen it further. A bold splash of color for the midground to background.
