Carpeting plants are low-growing species that spread across the foreground to create a lush, vivid green lawn. We stock a wide variety of foreground options, including Sagittaria, Hydrocotyle, and Micro Sword. For low-tech or beginner setups, Dwarf Hairgrass or Monte Carlo are highly recommended. For advanced, high-tech layouts equipped with pressurized CO2 and high lighting, Dwarf Baby Tears or Glossostigma provide premium, high-impact detail.
