Alternanthera brasiliana, or Brazilian Joyweed, is a vibrant ornamental shrub prized for its deep purple foliage and low-growing, bushy form. Ideal for borders, garden beds, or mass planting in UAE villas, it offers strong contrast and color throughout the landscape. It performs well in full sun and tolerates heat, making it an excellent fit for the UAE’s arid outdoor environments during cooler months. In peak summer, partial shade can help retain leaf vibrancy.
