Giant Val is a larger variant of the popular Vallisneria.  They act as the perfect background plants, growing tall and fast to create a jungle-like appearance.  Vals are grass-like plants that spread along with side shoots and can grow to the height of your aquarium.  They are nutrient loving plants that anchor deep into the substrate.
