Overview: Heteranthera Zosterifolia (Stargrass), often referred to as Star Grass, is a native plant from Brazil where it is usually found in marshes and watery areas. Because of its undemanding nature, it is now relatively common in the aquatic plant hobby. Heteranthera Zosterifolia (Stargrass) is a fast growing plant and will respond well to regular pruning while leaving the rooted portions.
