Crinum Natans

Crinum natans grows long, wavy, ribbon-like leaves with a wonderfully crinkled, corrugated texture that ripples in the current. It's a slow but very hardy grower — plant the bulb with its neck above the substrate and leave it undisturbed, and it will develop into an impressive background specimen. Tough enough to resist most plant-eating fish.
