Sunset Hygro (Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig'): Illegal or not?

i have never had 'ceylon' but from doing a search on the web, it would appear that this variety would have more narrow and longer leaves with slightly undulating edges. most of the pics had a coppery tone to the the leaves and i am sure that depends on the light, but none of the pics that i saw were showing pink highlights. who knows though, under brighter lighting the leaves may change quite a bit. i was amazed to see how cool creeping charlie mint gets under high light, i wouldnt know it was even the same plant if i had not watched the process

Definitely not 'Ceylon', I have kept that before. 99% sure it is just plain old H. polysperma, the white veins in 'Sunset' would still be visible despite the light intensity. Not worth the money IMO. I have seen regular polysperma get almost blood red under intense natural light.

This is the plant I was referring to and thought you were as well. Hygrophila polysperma 'Sunset' or Sunset Hygro, same plant

[CrazyCatPeekin]

AH YES..that is the plant that I was referring to originally. This guy said he didn't know if his was sunset or not...it sure doesn't look like it.

I think I am probably going to pass on it and just keep looking for the 'Sunset' variety instead.

dans pics are what my susnset looked like too, probably worth not settling for something else. seems there was a pink sunset too that didnt get as red but had a similar color as lilac temple plant

I've had that plant before. Picked it up locally too. Probably from another HFB member, or one of the LFS. Sadly, Its gone now.
