True Yellow/Gold Alternanthera is a vibrant foliage plant valued for its bright golden-yellow leaves that add bold contrast to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its compact, bushy habit makes it easy to shape and maintain, while its fast growth provides consistent colour throughout the summer season. In Manitoba, it is best grown as a warm-season annual, as it will not tolerate frost or survive prairie winters outdoors, but can be brought indoors before temperatures drop.
