Alternanthera brasiliana Purple Prince is a vibrant addition to any garden with its lush burgundy-purple foliage and ruby-rose undersides. This hardy plant thrives in a range of lighting conditions, from partial to full sun, and is designed for both beauty and resilience. Ideal for spacing 30cm apart, it reaches heights of 20-40cm and spreads out 40-50cm wide. The Purple Prince is a drought-tolerant, heat, and humidity-resistant selection, making it a perfect choice for low-maintenance landscapes and eye-catching container arrangements. Its striking colour and texture add a regal touch to garden beds, borders, and urban settings.
Care for the Alternanthera Purple Prince is straightforward, requiring light, regular watering - more frequently in extreme heat or when in containers - and monthly feeding to maintain its vibrant foliage. It may be lightly sheared mid-season for rejuvenation. This plant is particularly prized for its foliage, offering a durable carpet of colour that can withstand summer conditions including drought and rain.
