Ammannia senegalensis Senegal Ammannia

Ammannia senegalensis is a larger and more boldly coloured species than A. gracilis, with broader, more oval leaves that develop an intense copper to deep reddish-brown colouration under optimal conditions. Native to West Africa, it requires nutrient-rich water, high light, and CO2 injection to reach its full colour potential. It is a statement plant that commands attention in the background and works particularly well as a colour focal point in Dutch-style aquascapes where its warm tones contrast with green and yellow plants.
