Acalypha Trailing Chenille Plant, Strawberry Firetails
- Grow indoors or out

- Correct Name: Acalypha pendula
Very Unique Bright red, fuzzy, dangling, 2-4″ catkins adorn this unique trailer.
Full sun, grows to 6-10″ in container, trailing in habit, minimum temperature 60°, ever bloomer.
They prefer warm temperatures and high light, as they are rapid growers.
Can be used as a houseplant. Good for a hanging basket!
Acalyphas love to be pruned and respond well to hard pruning.
Zone 10 and higher
This is a really cool plant , and I have grown in before
Happy Gardening
