Party Time Plant – Live Plants in 4 Inch Pots – Alternanthera ficoidea Party Time – Extremely Rare and Elegant Indoor Houseplant

A beautiful mounded selection that stands out in garden beds, hanging baskets or patio containers; features dark green leaves with rosy pink variegation throughout the summer months; easy to grow with little to no maintenance needed. Alternanthera is a genus of flowering plants in the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. Cultivated varieties are a fast growing, compact plant ideal for borders or rockery. Attractive variegated foliage in shades of green and/or gold and often in red or bronze. Grow as a perennial or as a warm-season annual in cooler climates. ‘Partytime’ has green, wavy leaves with magenta splashes and streaks. Some leaves are wholly pink, and some are wholly green. In the garden, plant out after the last frost in moist but well-drained soil in full sun which will produce the best leaf colour. Plants can also grow well although less colourful in partial shade. Compact container grown specimens can be planted out to good effect for formal mass planting much as the Victorians did in formal gardens. If growing in the greenhouse in cooler regions, grow in full light and water freely during the growing season. Water sparingly and keep in a well ventilated spot in winter.
