Tri Color Lotus (Nymphaea Micrantha)

The Tri-Color Lotus (Nymphaea micrantha) is a stunning bulb plant whose heart-shaped leaves emerge in a marbled blend of green, red, and bronze. Left alone it will push floating pads to the surface, but trimming those keeps its colorful submersed leaves front and center as a striking midground feature. Uniquely, it produces baby plants directly on its mature leaves — an easy way to multiply it.
