Acalypha ‘Inferno’

It’s easy to see how this hot new copperleaf got its name. Inferno’s small leaves are all ablaze in shades of red, copper, orange, yellow, pink with an occasional bit of green. A real firestorm of color, this selection was discovered in Australia where it is occasionally referred to by the name Brownie Form. It only grows to about 30 inches tall in a season in our garden but can attain an eventual height of 10-12 feet in areas where it is winter hardy. Inferno Copperleaf is fairly quick growing, has dense foliage and achieves its best color in full sun.
