Ludwigia Repens, also known as Creeping Ludwigia or Narrow-leaf Ludwigia, is found in a variety of forms that may differ in leaf shape and color.  This variety produces beautiful olive-green to light brown leaves which may get darker with more intense reddish hues as they approach the water surface.  The plant is highly adaptable and fast growing.  As it reaches the surface, the leaves become more compact and the stems will grow horizontally.  Regular pruning is recommended and will keep the plant tidy, more compact and healthy.
