The Tiger Lotus grows from a bulb into a bold rosette of arrowhead leaves splashed with dark tiger-like spotting, ranging from green to deep red depending on the strain. It's a fast, dramatic centerpiece that will happily send lily pads to the surface if you let the runners run — snip them to keep the plant bushy and submerged. Bury the bulb with the growth tip peeking out and it takes off quickly.

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