I love this plant- it totally filled up the pot around the boxwood in a large pot with white vinca- my neighborhood deer don’t munch on them- and I am grateful for that!!!

I love this plant,this is my 2nd year having it and it needs nothing but water. It's eye catching, everyone who sees it has a compliment. Mine are in full sun.

I adore this plant! This Alternanthera was in pots flanking my front door, they got full sun until around 2pm. The foliage was so eye catching and beautiful. Can't go wrong with this plant!

I absolutely love this plant. I tried this Alternanthera for the first time last summer. Wow!!! I had it in a container in full sun. The foliage was a stunning plum color, and it lasted all summer/fall until the first frost. In my container, the plant was more like 20 inches tall, and at least 20 inches wide. I liked it so much, that I am purchasing it again for this summer. I put it beside a plant with lime green foliage (like lemon coral sedum or sweet potato vine) for a nice color contrast. Very hardy and super easy to care of this gem!
