Little Ruby (Alternanthera dentata)

Little Ruby (Alternanthera dentata 'Little Ruby') is a compact, mounding, low-growing ground cover prized for its stunning, intense, deep burgundy-purple foliage that provides striking, year-round colour without relying on flowers. It forms dense, spreading mats that act as an excellent weed suppressant. Its rich, dark leaves create magnificent contrast when planted alongside bright green, silver, or yellow foliage plants. It thrives in full sun, which brings out the deepest purple colouration, and is perfect for garden edging, mass planting, and vibrant container arrangements.
