Eleocharis pusilla
Eleocharis pusilla, widely known as the dwarf spikerush, is a stunning aquatic plant native to the wetlands of Australia and New Zealand. Ideal for aquascaping in the UK, this petite grass reaches only a few centimeters in height, making it significantly shorter than its counterpart, Eleocharis acicularis.
Featuring light green, slightly curved stems, dwarf spikerush thrives in cooler water temperatures—anything above 25 °C may be too warm for optimal growth. Its delicate appearance makes it an excellent choice for "Iwagumi" style aquascapes, imparting a fresh, summer meadow aesthetic to your aquarium.
Enhance your aquascaping projects with Eleocharis pusilla and create a serene underwater landscape that reflects nature’s beauty. Shop now at Dennerle Plants UK to find this captivating aquatic gem!
