3. Party Time Alternanthera

If bold, festive colors are your thing, the Party Time Alternanthera is for you. Its neon-pink and green foliage adds a fun pop of color indoors or in garden beds. It thrives in warm climates but also works as an annual in cooler areas. Low-maintenance and eye-catching—what’s not to love?

4. Lady Luck Nepenthes
