The main plant feature of the party time is its green, ovate, and pointy foliage with bright pink variegations. Some leaves can be entirely pink, while others contain splotches and patches of this unique color. This plant can also produce creamy-white, inconspicuous flowers, but it soon dies after it does, so you should prolong its flowering as long as you can. We often grow this alternanthera as a container plant, border plant, for mass planting, in hanging baskets, etc.
