Alternanthera Lilacina - Bunch

Alternanthera lilacina is a striking red-violet stem plant with long, narrow leaves that hold a deep lilac underside. It grows taller and more upright than most Alternanthera varieties, making it a strong colour accent for the background or a tall midground group.

Colour intensity tracks light and iron availability. Plant in groups of five or more stems — a single stem gets lost against green surroundings.
