Ludwigia sp. 'Atlantis'

This Ludwigia with conspicuously light yellow leaf veins was selected by Tomas Kaliebe at the former Atlantis nursery in Altlandsberg-Wegendorf and named as a cultivar. Recently it has also been appearing in the trade under the name Ludwigia sp. 'Dark Orange'. The plant possibly belongs to the hybrid Ludwigia palustris × repens.

In the emersed form, Ludwigia sp. 'Atlantis' has a particularly high-contrast leaf pattern. Leaves developed under water take on beautiful yellow-orange to dark orange tones, while the light yellow colouring of the leaf veins is no longer as pronounced.
