Myriophyllum Red Stem 1 Litre

Myriophyllum ‘Red Stem’ is an attractive oxygenating pond plant prized for its fine feathery foliage and distinctive reddish stems that add colour and texture beneath the water’s surface. This elegant aquatic plant creates a soft natural appearance within the pond while helping maintain a healthy balanced aquatic environment.

Its delicate submerged foliage provides excellent cover for fish fry, tadpoles, aquatic insects, and other pond wildlife, making it an excellent addition to wildlife ponds and ornamental water gardens alike. The contrasting red stems bring subtle visual interest beneath the water and pair beautifully with both green oxygenators and marginal pond plants.

As a highly effective oxygenating plant, Myriophyllum ‘Red Stem’ helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, reducing algae growth, and supporting natural pond balance. Its flowing underwater habit also helps create movement and texture within the pond environment.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, this hardy aquatic plant performs best in still or slow-moving water in sunny or partially shaded positions. Once established, it grows steadily throughout the season and contributes significantly to overall pond health.
