🌿 Alternanthera Rosaefolia (Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosaefolia')
Deep Rose-Red to Burgundy Leaves • A True Aquatic Alternanthera • A Premium Red Feature Plant
 
📋 Alternanthera Rosaefolia, also known as Scarlet Temple, is one of the most striking red plants in the hobby. Its broad, decorative leaves glow in rich pink, crimson and burgundy tones on strong, upright stems, creating a stunning focal point that contrasts beautifully with green plants. It's a favourite for Dutch-style aquascapes, high-end planted displays and anyone who wants a real splash of colour in the midground or background.
It's a true underwater plant, so it thrives fully submerged for the long term. Give it strong light, steady nutrients and CO2, and trim it regularly; replanted tops quickly fill out into a dense, glowing red group.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
