Alternanthera dentata 'Brazilian Red Hots'
Botanical Name
Alternanthera dentata 'Brazilian Red Hots'
Common Name
Joseph's Coat
Family
Amaranthaceae
Alternanthera dentata 'Brazilian Red Hots' may be used in warm season plantings. It has been our experience that it does not have a uniform shape when planted in a bed, but may perform better in a container. When planted in higher sun conditions the foliage is red, as opposed to more green in shadier conditions. It is about one foot tall and about one foot wide.
