Alternanthera Chartreuse Pack of 2

What You Will Receive: You will receive a pack of 2 vibrant Alternanthera 'Chartreuse' starter plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These healthy, rooted plugs are ready to plant immediately, offering an affordable way to add electric color to your garden beds or containers without buying expensive mature pots.

Electric "Neon" Visuals: Make your other plants pop! The 'Chartreuse' is famous for its glowing, lime-green to golden-yellow foliage that acts as a natural spotlight in the garden. It provides the perfect high-contrast backdrop for dark-leafed plants (like purple sweet potato vines) or bright flowers, ensuring your garden design looks professionally landscaped.

The Perfect "Filler & Spiller": Solve the problem of empty spaces in your pots. This plant is the ultimate multitasker: it forms a tidy, compact mound in garden borders or cascades slightly over the edges of hanging baskets and patio containers. It creates a lush, full look that hides bare soil and suppresses weeds.

Versatile Growing Options: Whether you are gardening on a sunny balcony or in a shaded backyard, this plant adapts. It thrives in both sun and partial shade (though the color is brightest in the sun). It works beautifully as an annual bedding plant in cooler zones or a perennial groundcover in tropical climates.

Low Maintenance Toughness: Enjoy a stunning garden without the constant work. This Alternanthera is heat-tolerant and requires very little pruning to keep its shape. It is a "plant it and forget it" variety that stays colorful from spring until the first frost, resisting most common pests and diseases.
