Little Ruby™Alternanthera dentata ‘LRU30’ PBR
By Katrina Layt
If your looking for a different groundcover that can provide beautiful colour contrast, then look no further. Little Rubys deep burgundy foliage is a real feature and will be a stand out in any garden or landscape.
This versatile plant can be used as a ground cover giving the appearance of a striking burgundy carpet, or can be used as a border plant where the foliage contrasts with other existing plants. Even in a pot or a container Little Ruby will be a stand out feature.
Little Ruby is a compact spreading Alternanthera with an upright growth habit, it is approximately a third of the height of its common form. It is a perfect mounding groundcover with dense foliage and grows 30 - 40cm x 60 - 90cm. Like most Alternantheras, Little Ruby will work in full sun to shade, however in cold climates will need to be planted in a sheltered position to protect it from the frost.
Little Ruby loves humid climates, but must be kept moist in dry conditions. Looking great as a groundcover, border plant or in containers, Little Ruby will bring colour and contrast to any landscape garden.
