Description
The colorful foliage of Gold Threads is especially eye catching. Gold and green leaves are a lovely garden compliment to colorful tropical house plants . Gold Threads is a low-growing tropical perennial valued for its bushy habit and glossy, colorful leaves. It is native from Mexico to Argentina where it naturally inhabits open forests with ample precipitation. The variable leaves may be blotched with marks of red, yellow, orange, brown, copper or purple and sometimes have contrasting red venation. When conditions are favorable, mature specimens produce lots of small, white flowers that are ornamentally insignificant. Grow Alternanthera in locations with full sun to light shade and fertile soil with good drainage. It is a beautiful foliage plant that will grow as a houseplant if given bright, filtered light. Plant it as an accent plant for containers or plant it in the garden as a groundcover or edging plant.

As described. It is a wild looking little bush. About 3″ tall. I have started pruning it to get a tiny bonsai … It is very cute with yellow and green foliage.

I have ordered from this seller before (I bought bareroot pineberries last year) and was so happy with my product I bought from them again. I ordered 8 cherry blossom strawberry plants. They arrived quickly and were packed fantastic! each plant had the soil taped inside the container and then carefully bubble wrapped and then more bubble wrap in the box. One plant already had strawberries started! I’m super excited to add these to my garden this year!

This is the plant right out of the box. So green and gorgeous! I think I’ve found my new favorite seller. Every plant I’ve ordered from here has arrived looking fantastic. I’ve tried to order live plants from several other sellers on Etsy and none survived the trip. So happy I’ve finally found a place to purchase plants from online that I can rely on.
