Yes, Acalypha varieties have some of the most colorful, flamboyant leaves of any shrub. I have posted several varieties.

Thankyou Andy;
Have had a look at them all, and love them all.
Love the Raggedy Anne variety. So feathery looking.
The colours of them are stunning. So red and firey. :o)

Glad you enjoyed the pics! I love Acalyphas...I've always grown a few varieties. I currently have 4 varieties. The one posted is the only one in the ground...the others are in pots, which they hate.
