Chenille plant (acalypha hispida) is a woody shrub but should be a good houseplant (mine died indoors though which I think was due to the dim light).

Strawberry kittentails / foxtail / firetail / pendula (acalypha repens) has always come back for me after being indoors for the winter despite going dormant or semi-dormant. I let a very large container of it outdoors this winter and just brought in a small pot of cuttings for insurance. Late this spring the large pot left out all winter started sprouting new shoots. Now I know I do not have to worry about keeping this plant indoors.

Here is the large pot in early July.
