Acalypha wilkesiana is a very nice shrub of striking leaves in red bronze or yellow green, much more appreciated in gardening for its high ornamental value.

Acalypha wilkesiana or "copperleaf shrub" is a perennial or semi-perennial plant, which belongs to the euphorbiaceae family.

Although it is a perennial plant it suffers with low temperatures, or with the lack of water.

To intensify the brilliant colour of its leaves, place it in a sunny or bright area.
Needs rich soil with good drainage.

- to control growth as it is quite vigorous.
