Red Flame Sword

The Red Flame Sword is a colorful Echinodorus whose broad leaves are speckled and blushed with deep red over green, like embers scattered across each blade. The coloration deepens under stronger light, making it a warm-toned centerpiece for the mid to background. As a heavy root-feeder, it thrives with root tabs tucked beneath it.
