Giant Cardamine Bunch

Scientific name: Hydrocotyle leucocephala
Trade name: Giant Cardamine

General Description: Giant Cardamine is a spreading, fast growing plant vine-like plant with rounded heart-shaped leaves and flowing stems.

Giant Cardamine provides mass foliage effect and good coverage for aquarium backgrounds.

What is special about me? Giant Cardamine grows up to the surface to become an attractive floating plant with trailing roots and "lily-pad) leaves. Less dense than red-root floaters or salvinias it lets light through to your aquarium and is manageable and beautiful.
