Alternanthera Mini

Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'

Family: Amaranthaceae

📍 South America (cultivar)

Ask Finn

Compact form of the popular Alternanthera reineckii — shorter internodes make it far easier to maintain. Deep red leaves create stunning contrast against green plants. Widely used in Dutch and Nature-style scapes.
