Sally--
The Acalypha leaves have so many different tones of color on them
Some are reader--some are darker, some have more green, etc.
It is possible that you got some of the darker ones. Also--the one in
my picture only gets morning sun until about 2PM. I think they get a lot
more intense in full sun. Karen has all hers in full sun all day.
I have mine in 3 places. None of the places get full sun all day.
In the GH--some had leaves that looked almost blackish maroon.

If you read sallyG's article on this plant just a couple days ago--
she posted a link to a Nursery--and you should look at that site
and see all the different varieties of Acalypha.
Some of them are totally dazzling----amazing!!!

Here are my other two. G.
