🌿 Bacopa monnieri 'Serrata' – Unique Serrated Leaf Form

Bacopa monnieri 'Serrata' is a rare and distinctive form of the popular Bacopa monnieri. While the standard variety is known for its smooth, rounded leaves, the 'Serrata' variant stands out with its delicately serrated, elongated foliage. This subtle difference creates extra texture and depth in aquascapes, making it a favorite among collectors and aquascaping enthusiasts who want something special.
