Collection: Red Aquarium Plants | Purple & Red Aquatic Plants

Transform your planted aquarium with stunning red aquarium plants and purple aquatic plants, the most sought-after species for creating vibrant, eye-catching aquascapes. Red and purple aquarium plants require higher light intensity to develop and maintain their spectacular colouration — without intense lighting, these plants tend to fade to green. To achieve the deepest, most vivid reds and purples, supplement your aquarium with pressurised CO₂, comprehensive fertilisation, and powerful LED lighting designed for plant growth. These demanding but rewarding aquatic plants create dramatic focal points, stunning contrasts against green foliage, and professional-quality aquascapes that rival nature aquarium competition tanks. Perfect for experienced aquascapers seeking bold colour and visual impact, red aquarium plants include popular species like Ludwigia, Rotala, Alternanthera, and red-stemmed varieties that bring unmatched beauty to high-tech planted tanks.
