Introduce an absolute crown jewel into your aquarium with Echinodorus 'Iguazu 2009 Red'. This legendary, high-end collector's plant is a stunning color variant of the iconic Iguazu 2009 sword. While the classic version features deep forest green leaves, this exceptional variety showcases long, pointed, reddish-brown to deep burgundy foliage that adds an unmatched contrast to a planted layout.
A massive advantage of this species is its manageable, compact size. Unlike traditional Amazon swords that can quickly grow massive and take over a tank, this variety maintains a short, stout rosette form. It grows thick, highly textured, leathery leaves that form a dense, low-profile crown, making it highly suitable as a spectacular midground centerpiece. Because it grows slowly, it rewards patient hobbyists with a stable, premium focal point that won't require constant maintenance or trimming.
