This cosmopolitan stem plant turns lighter red and is smaller than the well-known Ludwigia repens 'Rubin'. Each stem is 2-4 cm wide and 10-30 cm high. The plant likes to create side shoots, but mowing increases the amount and the plant becomes even denser. The cut shoots quickly generate new roots when planted. The plant becomes intensely red and grows better when placed in light and with added CO2.
