Yoadie yo ho !!!
Based on a message from Karen A Randall to All,
Let's talk about: Amazon Swords and Foreground Plants
KAR> conditions it will spread readily, and make a very pretty green
KAR> "lawn". And, no, it does not need "mowing"<g>
KAR> This same effect can be achieved with Lillaeopsis, (my personal

Other plants that could also be considered lawn-like are
E.austroamericanus (AKA bolivianus), a nice effect can be
achieved with Marsilia which looks like four-leaf clover,
but it's harder to raise and it grows quite slow.
