An ugly border plant from Ian in TX

Plant in a roadside median, full sun. Used as border plant or ground cover for red begonias. Yellowish green vibrant color.

Ian,

some people love this, some do not.  It is a cultivar of Alternanthera ficoidea.  I am not sure which cultivar it is – the likely choices are ‘Chartreuse’ and ‘Gold threads’, but there may be more.

Sincerely,

Dr. Steven R. Hill, Botanist  SCNPS
