Description
The Alternanthera Red is a bold, fast-growing plant known for its rich burgundy-purple foliage that instantly adds colour and contrast to any setting. In this ready-to-hang nursery pot, it’s perfect for balconies, railings, windows, or shaded patios, where it can trail freely or spill beautifully over the edges.
Unlike typical green houseplants, Alternanthera brings a strong visual statement with its deep-toned leaves. The plant stays low and bushy, and when placed in a hanging pot, it softens spaces with flowing colour and texture.
While mostly grown for ornamental appeal, this variety is also low maintenance. It loves warmth, partial sunlight, and doesn’t need much fuss — making it a great choice for outdoor displays that are eye-catching yet easy to manage.
