Red Threads Joseph's Coat is a perennial plant known for its narrow, thread-like leaves that are a striking burgundy-red color. This plant is quite versatile and can be used as a ground cover, in containers, or as a border plant. It's also often used in tropical-themed gardens for its exotic appearance.
This plant prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It's also relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a good choice for gardens in drier climates. However, it's worth noting that this plant is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors or protected during the winter in colder climates.
Red Threads Joseph's Coat can grow up to 6-12 inches tall and spread up to 18 inches wide, so it's a good idea to give it plenty of space to spread out.
