Copper leaf

Acalypha wilkesiana or is it A mosaica?
These are typical of Jamacia but performed pretty well outside up here. Photo was taken a couple of weeks ago.

Another one.

I don't know what they are but they are beautiful!! I love those color variations.

I'll be watching this thread for the name of your plant so I can order one for my garden next spring.

It is oft called Copperleaf, it is of the Acalypha genus, species- probably 'wilkesiana'.

new post is a view from on top of the 2nd eariler post...

Another view of the 1st one.

I don't know either, it is georgious, just check out the foilage on that. If it's copper leaf, I hear it's pretty easy to root the cuttings too.

I have been noticing these here in a nursery. They sure are pretty! I am being good though!

They are relatively easy to root from cuttings in water.

Take a look at this site.

I'm pretty sure what you have is the acalypha mosaica..

I have quite a few of the wilkesiana and it is definately not that.
