Copperleaf Acalypha, often simply called Copper Leaf, is one of a genus of 400 species of tropical and subtropical shrubs. This one is most likely Acalypha wilkesiana, which grows to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Its curious mottled, multicolored foliage makes it an outstanding garden specimen plant. It grows in sun or part shade and likes plenty of water. It's not perennial in the Ozarks, but we're thinking if brought indoors, it might survive season-to-season.
