Alternanthera (Joseph's Coat)

The Alternanthera (Al-tern-an-thera) plant, more commonly known as Joseph's Coat or Joyweed, is an excellent choice for adding vibrant color and texture to your garden beds, borders, and containers. Its striking foliage is available in a wide range of colors and variegated patterns. From deepest purple to striking lemony-gold, its leaves will also vary in shape. Depending upon the variety, its leaves may be heart-shaped, tear-drop shaped, or delicately slender. Regardless of your preference, Alternanthera, when planted enmasse, makes quite the statement! Joseph’s Coat’s ability to spread makes it ideal for use as a low-growing groundcover or as a colorful filler in mixed plantings. Alternanthera thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with regular watering to maintain consistent moisture.
