Limnophila Aromatica Mini

Limnophila aromatica 'Mini' is a compact version of the well-loved Rice Paddy Herb. It keeps the species' signature colour range — green tops over purple-magenta undersides — in a smaller, denser package that suits nano tanks and midground placement far better than the full-size form.

The leaves release a distinctive aroma when crushed, which is where the species name comes from. Colour saturation depends heavily on light intensity; under strong lighting the undersides turn a vivid purple.
