The Red Dwarf Lily grows from a dormant bulb into a rosette of striking red-to-burgundy leaves, often with a marbled or spotted pattern that makes it a natural centerpiece. Plant the bulb with its tip exposed and it will quickly send up submerged leaves; leave the shoots long and it'll throw floating lily pads to the surface. Trim those surface pads to keep the color concentrated below.

Care level: Easy · Placement: Midground · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Moderate-Fast · Propagation: bulb (offsets)
