I stopped by the hardware & garden store to buy some fertilizer, and of course had to do a quick cruise through the garden department. This plant caught my eye.

Alternanthera-Purple threadleaf.
The narrow foliage resembles coleus leaves and what caught my eye is the outstanding foliage constrast.

The *rabbit pruned* primroses have done flowering for now and the container was looking rather shabby. The threadleaf should soon fill in the gap and flow over the side. I have put the planter up where the rabbits will not be able to finish the pruning job they started.
I am thinking of replacing the primroses with something else, Hmmmm another trip to the garden center in the near future.
