what is it?

20 years ago

Need help identifying this plant. I grew it in a windowbox last summer and brought it inside for the winter, loves sun and water. It is bright pink, green and white and I think it is lovely. It has kept it's color pretty well in winter. I'm pretty sure it's some type of Alternanthera, but don't know what variety.

Whatever it is it's BEAUTIFUL!

I would post it on "name this plant" forum. Someone will know what it is.

I posted this on the Name that Plant forum and was told it is indeed Party Time. This plant roots justs like coleus from cuttings, just clip it and stick it in water, so easy.
