This beautiful plant is a hybrid between Echinodorus horemanii Red and Echinodorus horizontalis.

It was first produced in 1986 by Hans Barth in Dessau and becomes 25-40 cm tall and a rosette from 15-25 cm wide. New underwater leaves are a beautiful pink, and initially the leaves have red-brown spots. A nutritious bottom promotes growth, but otherwise Echinodorus ‘Ros’ is undemanding and thus an excellent plant for beginners.
