Alternanthera hybrida ‘Choco Chili’
A bold foliage plant that brings serious drama to summer containers and garden beds. Its rich, nearly black-purple leaves are contrasted by a striking ruby-red underside, creating a layered, multi-dimensional look that pairs beautifully with just about anything in mixed plantings.
Naturally compact with excellent branching, Choco Chili grows in a vigorous upright and spreading habit that arches gracefully over the edges of containers and baskets. It thrives in heat and full sun, where its foliage color is at its darkest and most intense. This is a truly low-maintenance plant—no pruning, no deadheading, no fuss—and it stays lush, colorful, and healthy all season long. Exceptionally heat tolerant and hardy right up until frost, Choco Chili is a tough, carefree showstopper for patios, landscapes, and summer displays.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
