Dwarf Sag

Just wondered does dwarf sag stay pretty low and bushy? I'm after something bushy and fore-midground thats grass like to fill some spaces? But not hairgrass tho, I just seem to kill that stuff every time I use it lol.

Oh and can you trim it successfully if it gets to long?

Scroll down for some good pics of Dwarf Sag.

You could try Echinodorus tenellus.

When trimming either of them, cut as close to the "crown" as you can. Much like pruning an amazon sword or java fern.

Nice, does it stay pretty low? So you can't trim the leaves if they get to long?

If you allow Sagittaria subulata to grow for ages then it can reach 30cm in height.
Carbon addition does give more compact results as will regular trimming.
You can't trim the leafs as such. If you cut the leaf then the remaining peice would rot away I think. Hence why you should trim the leaf at the base of the plant.

Hmmm maybe I'll give it a try and if the leaves get too long I'll have to take them off completely I suppose.

Thanks for the help.
