Description
The Alternanthera Plant, known for its rich reddish-purple foliage, is a bold and beautiful addition to any garden or balcony setup. This small-sized version in a nursery grow bag is ideal for borders, low planters, or as a colour accent in mixed plant arrangements.
Compact and easy to maintain, Alternanthera grows into a tidy mound of vibrant foliage that contrasts wonderfully with green plants. It’s a favourite for landscaping because of its intense leaf colour and dense, low-growing habit. In full sunlight, the colours appear deeper and more saturated—making it perfect for sunny balconies, garden edges, or terrace beds.
While it’s primarily grown for its foliage, the plant may also produce tiny white flowers. With minimal care, this hardy plant thrives throughout the year and can be trimmed to keep it bushy.
