🌺 ALTERNANTHERA RED RUBY
❤️ Vibrant Colour Groundcover
Alternanthera Red Ruby is a striking groundcover known for its rich burgundy, ruby‑red, and deep purple foliage. Its bold colour instantly lifts any garden space, adding contrast, warmth, and year‑round visual interest. The compact, spreading habit forms a dense carpet of vibrant leaves that looks stunning in borders, edging, containers, and mass plantings.
🌿 Perfect for Ground Covers
As part of our Ground Covers collection, Red Ruby fills spaces quickly and neatly. Its low‑growing, mounding shape creates a clean, polished look that works beautifully in both residential and commercial landscapes. Plant it along pathways, around feature plants, or in large drifts for a dramatic colour‑block effect.
☀️ Heat‑Tolerant & Low Maintenance
This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs exceptionally well in warm South African climates. It is heat tolerant, easy to grow, and requires very little maintenance. A light trim keeps it compact and encourages fresh, vibrant new growth.
🌱 Versatile in Design
Alternanthera Red Ruby pairs beautifully with aloes, succulents, ornamental grasses, and flowering perennials. Its deep red tones create contrast against greens, greys, and natural stone, making it ideal for modern, tropical, or colourful garden themes.
🌍 Great for Beds, Borders & Containers
Whether you’re refreshing a pot, edging a walkway, or designing a colourful groundcover bed, Red Ruby brings energy, texture, and bold personality to any outdoor space. It performs well in containers, hanging baskets, mixed plantings, and landscape beds.
