It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara2\"\u003eThis is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It has no significant negative characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantLAPara3\"\u003eTrue Yellow Alternanthera is recommended for the following landscape applications;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"NetPS-LAPara3-ap\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorder Edging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Garden Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContainer Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging Baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"NetPS-PlantDescHeader\" id=\"NetPS-PlantPGHeader\"\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara1\"\u003eTrue Yellow Alternanthera will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eTrue Yellow Alternanthera is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a canvas of foliage against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","offers":[{"title":"4.33\" AKA","offer_id":44897679573192,"sku":"85495","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5481\/8760\/files\/G187-04.jpg?v=1768867842","url":"https:\/\/akagroweroutlet.com\/products\/alteranthera-true-yellow","provider":"Alsip's Kingsbury Acres Grower Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
