Dwarf Sagittaria Subulata

Sagittaria Subulata – Versatile Foreground to Midground Grass-Like Plant for Planted Aquariums

Sagittaria subulata, commonly known as Dwarf Sagittaria, is a hardy, fast-growing aquatic plant perfect for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. This grassy, rosette-forming plant is highly adaptable, thriving in a wide range of water parameters and lighting conditions.
