Water Wisteria AKA The HARDIEST Hygrophila (Hygrophila difformis)
These have been underwater in a big deep basin for 2 1/2-3 weeks and should transition perfect to your aquarium.
These are NICE Underwater grown plants with decent roots. The tops have the split leaf underwater growth, there are still some leaves with the above water more oval leaves lower.
They are about 6-7 inches tall. They are a NITRATE SPONGE!

Water Wisteria is simply an AWESOME beginner plant. Water Wisteria AKA Hygrophila difformis, can take anything you can throw at it.
True to it's latin name, difformis means to be irregularly or unevenly or differently formed. This hygrophila's foliage is ruffled and unique, adding a striking texture to your tank.
Wisteria one of those plants that when you get it going it will grow like a weed. Try it out while you are a rookie and see. Water Wisteria does well in a newly planted tank.
I like to float it personally as it gets more light and send off some really great long flowing roots. Fish love hiding and breeding in Water Wisteria's roots.
In an order you get 4-6 nice bushy stems of it, often with great roots already going.
The stems are beefy as if they have been growing in down in dirt. This picture doesn't do this great plant justice... This is one of our best selling plants for a reason. We grow them in a 90 gallon aquarium in the greenhouse which gets FULL morning sun. The plants love this and grow like crazy for us...then on to you.
NOTE: While Water Wisteria is one of our best selling aquarium plants, we do stock other forms of Hygrophila as well. Many of our Hygrophila's are just as hardy, check out our HARDY Hygrophila Cordata RED,
Or Hygrophila Cherry Leaf, or Hygrophila Compact

Customer Reviews
My plants always arrive healthy and they take off very fast with very little melting. I love buying from Dustin.
Plants came in healthy, looking like they just freshly came out of an aquarium less than a handful minutes ago. Can't wait for these to get established and take off
I recently got my tank back up and running and had gone with another seller for some Wisteria. Those plants were clearly grown above water and didn't acclimate well to my tank. Had to remove them. Found Dustin's and the Wisteria I got were clearly, per their claim, grown/acclimated submerged and they are thriving in my tank! I will be returning to Dustin's Fishtanks for my future needs.
Plants came packaged well, not a sign of damage or wilt in sight. Planted into tank and they are taking off!
I won't order from anywhere else. Dustins does a great job matching plants with my fish & aquarium needs. I've ordered multiple times. I will continue to get aquatic plants from Dustins fishtanks. Thank you for your great work!
