Dwarf Sagittaria (Sagittaria subulata) is a popular freshwater aquarium plant valued for its grass-like leaves and ability to form a natural carpet over time. It is commonly used as a foreground to midground plant, where it creates a soft, meadow-style effect that suits both beginner and advanced planted aquariums.
Hardy and adaptable, Dwarf Sagittaria grows well in a wide range of conditions and spreads by runners once established. It is an excellent choice for low to moderate tech tanks and provides a natural transition between foreground and taller background plants.
