Chenille Plant, Red-Hot Cattail
Acalypha hispida'

Yours is a very healthy looking specimen.
Typically as many others, it's a houseplant in a
temperate climate but grows as a perennial
shrub in the tropics.

Thank you. I guess it won't grow in my climate as a perennial. It's a
gorgeous plant.

Thank you. My tenant is a school teacher who works at a plant nursery
summers.... it's her plant. Too bad it won't endure the Catskill winters.

I was just admiring my Ma-in-laws same plant variety on the weekend. she
has grown in in her last 4 houses as a pot plant and she's manged to keep it
alive for the last 10 years that she has lived in a very frosty climate.
She has it outside but growing in a roofed 3 sided small verandah.
