Description
The biennially bearing Alternanthera 'Party Time' deserves a prime spot in your compositions with its variegated green foliage with pink. Cultivated as an annual in our climate, this frost-tender plant forms a bushy clump of 30cm in all directions that adds colour to your beds, borders, and other containers and hanging baskets. In full sun, its colours are more intense, but it also tolerates partial shade and can even be grown indoors.
From the Chenopodiaceae family, the same as spinach, the genus Alternanthera is native to tropical and subtropical regions of South and Central America. The selection 'Party Time' is characterized by its highly decorative coloured foliage. Its undulate, ovate, and opposite leaves are green, splashed with pink. Some leaves are completely pink and others green. This herbaceous plant forms a clump of 30cm in all directions. Don't hesitate to pinch the tips of the stems at the start of growth to maintain a compact and dense habit. Insignificant, its flowering occurs between June and October, in the form of axillary and terminal spikes of tiny white flowers.
This decorative foliage plant thrives in full sun, which enhances its colours, or in partial shade. Cultivated as an annual, it easily adds color to a bed or a border. In a suspension, pair it with Lobelia 'Anabel Snow White' with white flowers and Surfinia 'Trailing Big Pink' with pink flowers. In a container or planter, combine it with a vibrant pink verbena like 'Endurascape Magenta' and a Euphorbia 'Diamond Snow' with numerous small white flowers.

Planting and care
The biennially bearing 'Party Time' Alternanthera can be grown in full sun or partial shade. A sunny exposure enhances the coloration of its foliage. In a pot, choose a good potting soil that should remain moist. In the ground, it appreciates a moist and well-drained soil, preferably neutral to acidic. Do not let the soil completely dry out. Alternanthera also fears excessive watering. Water regularly, but in small quantities. A regular supply of universal fertilizer will be appreciated by plants grown in pots and hanging baskets. Frost-sensitive, plant it once all risk of frost has passed and shelter it in a lightly heated veranda during winter to keep it until the following spring. It is also an indoor plant. Pinch the tips of the stems to obtain a more compact plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
