DESCRIPTION
Louisiana Red Copper Leaf is among the most popular and best loved of the Acalyphas. It is a large leafed, large growing Cooper Plant that will easily grow to be 4 to 5 tall within a season or two. It has typical intense colored foliage in tones of red, maroon, bronze, deep olive and dusty peach. Colors will change with seasons, stage of growth, and amount of light.
The Louisiana Red Copper Leaf will grow in a wide range of soil types and in the full sun but preforms best in very light dappled shade in slightly acidic highly organic soil.
Leaf color is less intense with increasing shade. It does flower, but blooms are nondescript. This plant is grown for color in foliage. Makes a great as accent or as mass planting. Easy to grow and requires little maintenance aside adequate watering and frequent light pruning to refresh color and control size.
