ALTERNANTHERA FICOIDEA 'SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN'

I bought this beautiful Alternanthera ficoidea cultivar from Thailand. It was somehow known as 'Snow on the Mountain' because of the new flushes of white variegated leaves although there was hardly any information on this plant other than this link I found:

It definitely has an attractive appeal to it.
