Description
Yellow Joseph’s Coat (Alternanthera) is a warm-season foliage plant with bright lime-yellow leaves and a spreading, upright habit. It adds contrast to sunny Alabama beds, borders, and mixed containers, typically growing around 6–12 inches tall and 12–20 inches wide. Give full sun for the brightest color, though a little afternoon relief can help in extreme heat. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly while establishing; avoid waterlogged roots. Light pinching or trimming maintains a compact shape. Small pale flowers may appear late in the season. Protect from frost.
