Description
This form of Bacopa caroliniana is labeled by the company ADA as "Saffron Red". According to the few available information about this plant. , its shoot tips will turn pinkish red under good lighting and nutrient supply. Possibly it is identical to Bacopa caroliniana 'Colorata'. Until it has been clarified, we offer the ADA tissue culture plant under the name "Saffron Red" as well.
Bacopa caroliniana, the Lemon Bacopa or Blue Water Hyssop, a long-known aquarium plant, is a quite undemanding stem plant with moderate growth rate, and certainly this is also applicable to the "Saffron Red" form. Rather strong lighting is recommendable to promote its best coloration. Bacopa caroliniana, with its colour variants, grows strictly upright under water and looks best as a group in the midground to background of not too small aquariums. In its terrestrial form, it forms a carpet of prostrate, ramified stems with light blue flowers.
