Which plants grow big (bushy), but not too tall? I'm going to have to

much maintenance.




I find Hygrophila rosae australis an attractive plant - the leaves take on
a pinkish hue once it reaches the surface. It does grow like wildfire so
does need pruning though...great for cuttings though

Thanks, it must be rare, I could not find it on PlantGeek or Tropica. How
does it compare to something like Ludwigia for growth? My Ludwigia grows
like a bad weed.



It's pretty common over here - not having any Ludwigia I can't reaaly
compare growth rates but once it takes off I end up pulling it out by
the bucket load. Try doing a google on the name...
