Alternanthera dentata ‘Ruby’, commonly called Ruby Alternanthera or Red Threadleaf, is a striking ornamental foliage plant known for its rich burgundy to deep purple-red leaves. This fast-growing, low-maintenance plant is ideal for vibrant borders, mass plantings, and tropical-themed gardens. It has a mounding, slightly spreading habit and is grown primarily for its bold foliage color rather than flowers. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into the ground or a larger planter.
