I got that at a Wal-Mart in TN years ago as a red Rose of Sharon. Well, it isn't red but the double pink endeared itself. So I took some cuttings when I moved and they have come along despite being weed whacked and dog chewed. This one does not produce a lot of seed if any.

Here is Strawberry Kitten's tail / firetails / foxtails (acalypha repens). I left it out this winter and took a small piece inside for insurance. Turns out this is hardy and blooming quite nice this morning.
