Plant ID

San Antonio, TX

Does anyone know what this plant is. I bought it at a yard sale with another one in the same family but it has lighter green leaves with a white edging.

Purty! However, I can't help you with this one.

You may have better luck (and more hits) in the Identification Forum:

And might I also add a hearty WELCOME TO DG!

Thanks for answering. I will take your advice and try the ID forum. I didn't see it on the list originally. Glad to be here.

Hope to see you around the site!

Also am looking forward to finding out what your plant(s) are.

Well the ID forum worked great. Thanks for the info. The plant is aAcalypha wilkesiana "Curly Q". I hope it propagates. well.

Efland, NC(Zone 7a)

Thanks. I went and checked it out.

Looks like I'd have to grow it as an annual, or put it in the g-house over winter.

Nice one. Also loved the hibiscus you posted.

Thanks, I can root some cuttings for you if you want.

Thanks! But for now, I'll have to decline...I have entirely too many plants to deal with right now. But I'll hold you to it in the future! We'll make a trade sometime, okay!

Sounds good to me. Let me know when you are ready. What kinds of plants do you usually grow? I have a small nursery business and grow alittle of everything. I try to do most of my own propagation nut there are times I order from the growers.

Same here, "small" nursery biz but it's getting entirely too big for me to handle alone. I grow mostly perennials, herbs, shrubs, and veggie seedlings. Also am branching out (no pun intended) to fruit trees (mainly various kinds of figs).

Sounds like we have the same type of business set up. Do you have any pictures of your place? I am sending you one of mine. I have so9me more but they are stuck on my other computer until I get some help getting them off.

I've posted so many pics on DG though, it might be best to just click my name and 'view the threads' (or something like that).

I have a few other pictures. This is some of my texas silver sage. I'll post one of the hibiscus later. I currently have 10 different colors and forms. It's one of my favorite flowers.
