Lysimachia parviflora, also known in the aquarium trade as Samolus parviflorus "Red", is a beautiful aquatic and marginal plant prized for its unique coloration and ease of care. This species develops striking reddish to bronze hues under strong lighting, making it an excellent accent plant in aquascapes where vibrant contrast is desired.
With its small, oval-shaped leaves growing densely along upright stems, Lysimachia parviflora offers both visual appeal and structural versatility. It can be planted as a midground or background species, where its rich tones stand out against green foliage. In lower-light setups, the leaves may remain more greenish, but under nutrient-rich, high-light, and CO₂-enriched conditions, the red coloration becomes especially vivid.
Propagation is straightforward through cuttings, as trimmed stems readily root and branch out. Its adaptable nature allows it to thrive submerged in aquariums or emersed in paludarium and riparium setups, making it a flexible option for different aquascaping styles.
Whether used as a colorful highlight or as part of a dense planting arrangement, Lysimachia parviflora (Samolus parviflorus "Red") brings warmth, depth, and natural beauty to freshwater aquariums.
