Hi, a member gave me this plant and he forgot its name. Can someone tell me what plant is this? The 2 red stems in the middle. The stems were cutting of the plants that grown out of water. Thanks.

It's a Persicaria (formerly Polygonum). Should be more obvious which one in a bit as it grows.

+1 for Cavan!

It looks a lot like my Persicaria sp. 'Kawagoeanum'; my 'Sao Paulo' had shorter leaves and more intense red coloration.

Thank you. Looks like the submersed form look thinner and the leaves are smaller.
