Limnophila aromatica, the Sawtooth Marshweed, is a stunning Australian native plant that is a must-have for any native aquatic plant enthusiast. With its striking serrated green leaves and sturdy stems, this plant looks great in any aquarium. Not only is it visually appealing, but it is also undemanding, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists.

Note that this is the true Limnophila aromatica species. It is very often confused for the non-native Limnophila hippuridoides, which has been sold as L. aromatica for many years. One of the distinguishing features of Limnophila aromatica is its entirely green leaves which grow relatively wide, a beautiful contrast to the many narrow-leaved species available in the aquarium trade. Its overall undemanding nature means that it doesn't require high lighting or CO2 injection to thrive, making it a versatile plant for any aquascape.

This Australian native plant is a perfect choice for aquarists who are looking to create a lush and natural-looking aquarium. This species spreads easily and can quickly fill in a space, providing a lime-green background that is perfect for showcasing other plants or for hiding unsightly equipment. This plant is also an excellent choice for those who are looking to provide their tank inhabitants with a natural habitat that is similar to their native environment.

Limnophila aromatica is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an attractive and undemanding plant for their aquarium. It is a stunning Australian native plant that can add contrast and depth to any aquascape.
