Alternanthera
Brazilian Red Hots
A well branched foliage plant with brightly colored burgundy leaves that have splashes of hot pink. Very heat tolerant. Gives vibrant eye-catching color all summer long.
Late in the summer, this is one of those plants that really shines and you will want to hold on to the last minute before you pull it out for fall plantings.
