Plant Description:

The most colorful of all acalyphas. Its dwarf growing habit is another advantage. It has become so popular that it is slowly replacing most of the other acalypha varieties. The leaves are rosy pink to orange pink depending on season. Plants grow and show off best in full sunlight. Good to contrast with lighter or darker coloured foliage.

Growing tips:

As easy as acalyphas get. Plants are quick growing. They are usually planted at high density (at 30 cms center to center). This gives quick coverage. If not trimmed plants grow to around one meter tall. They can be trimmed and kept to as low as 30 cms.
