that's the name they gave me where I bought this plant, can't find anything on the web...!
could it be in the family of the amarante..? it was among the plectranthus...and chlorophytum
I want to use it in the garden....
acylipha
Acalypha (copperleaf) is what you have. It is not a begonia but is in the Euphorbiaceae family.

thank you so much....now I would like to know if it's "rampant"..? crawls.....
I doubt it would spread for you in Quebec.
This is very much a large 'shrub', and would not be hardy for you outdoors...so it wouldn't have time to spread if your area experiences a cold winter.
Most Acalyphas are hardy only to about zone 9, I think.
There are so many really beautiful Acalypha's out there: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&resnum=0&q=images+of+acalypha&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title

I didn't even realize until recently that the one called "Chenille Plant" is an Acalypha. I love some of these with the bright colorful foliage. They are grown a lot down here in Florida as landscape plants.
