Little Ruby Alternanthera
Little Ruby alternanthera is a great, low-maintenance plant to add color to your landscape.
Little Ruby offers an alternative to traditional blooming bedding plants. The beautiful foliage in shades of burgundy and purple adds rich color to the landscape and is consistently attractive throughout the season.
The excellent compact growth habit of this plant is another super feature as Little Ruby requires no deadheading and little maintenance.
This tough little plant is heat and humidity tolerant and has a low moisture requirement. This plant likes it warm, so plant after danger of frost, and it will grow and thrive throughout the long, hot summer.
Little Ruby alternanthera is excellent to grow in containers or as a ground cover in landscape beds.
Adding color to the landscape is super easy with Little Ruby alternanthera.
