Shoreweed, or Littorella uniflora, is a small plant, which reproduces by runners. In Europe it is native to the shores and shallow-water zones of clear lakes and ponds with sandy ground, whose waters are poor in nutrients and low in calcium. Littorella is a very slow grower in the aquarium. It is very rare in the trade but it makes a nice rough carpet, different to the smooth looking carpets like 'Cuba. A very easy and undemanding plant.
