Alternanthera Choco Chili has stunning, attractive foliage.  It is nearly black-purple on top and a bright ruby on the bottom giving a multi dimensional look.  It is naturally compact but its vigorous and spreading habit means it combines well with almost anything for combination containers and baskets or filling a landscape bed.  This tough heat and humidity tolerant plant is easy-to-grow and maintain grabbing the spot light in your garden areas all summer long where other plants wither away. This mid size grower spreads a wide 12 - 18" filling in an area quickly.  While this plant will perform anywhere from part sun to sun but the colors are best in sunnier locations.
