Alternanthera Little Ruby

Parrot Leaf

“Little Ruby” is an eye catching plant with its colourful foliage. The leaves are lush and purple with dark green undertones. Small, white flowers borne above the foliage in autumn contrast nicely with the foliage. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and 60 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, frost free site in full sun. “Little Ruby” is perfect for container growing, including in a border or mixed planting, mass planting as a groundcover, planting around outdoor living areas, or using to contrast with other garden colours. A mass planting suits this variety and provides a wonderful display.
