My hornwort melted in a couple days. I keep an avg. 80 degree tank & fertilize weekly.

This was pre-betta. I had to discard the hornwort and do a near complete water change. I'm new to the planted aquarium so when I bought my plants I asked if some plants couldn't be planted with others and they said no but didn't say anything about cold water/warm water plants. When I bought the hornwort it was purple/brown but as it grew it was lush green. All the purple/brown melted. Did I buy a dud plant or do cold water plants not do well in tropical freshwater tanks? I currently have fairy moss in my tank even though it's traditionally a cold water pond plant and it's been growing well.
On a side note does anybody know if the main plant shown on my aquarium log is amazon sword? I want to verify.
