Altlandsberg Sword (Echinodorus)

Echinodorus ‘Altlandsberg’ Sword is a large, eye-catching rosette plant with broad, upright leaves that range from bright green to bronze and olive. New growth may emerge with warmer reddish or brown tones before maturing, giving the plant a layered, colorful appearance.
