Try impatiens (just the regular garden impatiens, not the New Guinea

Oh, look at this!

Philips Aquarelle

The Philips Aquarelle is a mercury vapory fluorescent light that is very
efficient for indoor gardening. The 30-watt Philips Aquarelle model produces
10,000K (Kelvins--a thermodynamic temperature scale) of natural light which
allows plants to achieve photosynthesis as they normally would outdoors. In
addition, the bulb actually stimulates oxygen output in the plants with this
light spectrum. It is one of the best T8 bulbs because of its energy
efficiency, color rendering (promotes photosynthesis and oxygen) and
affordable price.


Now I have to go find them and see the prices!...
