Crypt Blassii

Cryptocoryne blassii is a larger, striking crypt whose broad, wavy leaves show green tops over rich purple-red undersides once established. It's a rewarding but patient plant — give it stable conditions and time, and it develops into a bold, colorful midground-to-background specimen. Spreads slowly by runners into a handsome clump.
