I am pleased beyond my expectations with 'Plum Dandy' a plant I grew once a few years ago and have been looking for ever since. The leaf sheen and color are exciting and glowing and I prefer the leaf shape to other Alternanthera I've grown . I grow them both in window boxes and in-ground and am very happy how well they work with other plants. It's one of my current favorites.
