Rose Sword (Echinodorus species) is a striking freshwater aquarium plant known for its broad leaves with attractive pink to reddish tones, especially on new growth. As the plant matures, leaves often deepen to green with subtle rose colouring, creating a beautiful contrast in planted aquariums.
This sword plant is best suited to midground or background placement and works particularly well as a focal plant in larger aquariums. Hardy and adaptable, Rose Sword is suitable for beginners while still delivering strong visual impact in display tanks.
