Pinwheel Melon Sword (Echinodorus osiris) - large bare roots

Echinodorus osiris “Pinwheel” is a great new sword plant for the aquarium created by Florida Aquatic Nurseries. It gets its name from the curved leaves that it displays in the emersed form similar to a pinwheel in appearance. Narrow leaves and a small stature help this aquarium plant to resemble a Cryptocoryne in growth habit. Echinodorus “Pinwheel” is an excellent choice for mid-ground settings in a planted aquarium. If you have been looking for a sword plant that won’t outgrow your aquarium, this is your choice.
