Luwigia perennis

[Rob P]

Have bought a pot of this, still in the tank in its pot waiting to be split out/planted!

Conflicting info online saying this is actually Ludwig glandulosa but used to be sold as perennis. Well I have glandulosa in the tank already and the perennis is not the same thing! Both are by Aquafleur I believe...

Anyone with info/experience? 🙂

I'm pretty sure the "perennis" is really glandulosa 🙂 - the "glandulosa", I can't really tell.

Thanks Mick, have to say the library pictures of glandulosa don't look like what i've bought as glandulosa lol, but i've had two pots the same from seperate suppliers?! Both Aquafleur though I think...

😀 lol, ok fair enough Mick. I think my glandulosa looks more like repens (quite red stems and underside of leaf) and the one i've bought as perennis is glandulosa. They both look to grow to 40cm and like a bit of light, i'll try it somewhere appropriate 🙂

Good luck with both plants - at the end of the day what matters is, that you like the look of it - whatever name it carries (looks a lot like repens to mee too)
