Hello All
I am new here and I went seaching for a web page so that someone could tell me what kind of plant that I have. I would also like to know how to take care of it and where I should put it in the winter months.
If anyone can help, please do.
Thank You!!
That is Acalypha repens aka "Strawberry Kittentails" or "Chenile Plant" and a slew of other common names.
If you look at the forums, there is one call identification that is wonderful - I have found plants in the woods that I have never seen before and gotten an ID within hours... Very good forum!
I'd say Chenille Plant also... http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1821/index.html

Chenile Plant seems to be more commonly associated with acalypha hispida.
Thank you both for the help.
Now I know how to take care of the plant in the winter and all year around.
I have this plant also and its very easy to grow . stays outside all winter but of course we dont get any freezing weather. You just care for it like any other pot plant. divide by the roots, I dont know if it has seeds or not. Fran
Hey Fran--haven't "talked to you" in awhile. Hope the holidays were good to you. I'd love to trade with you for some "roots". I would have to grow it in a container and put it in the gh during the winter.
Blessings,
Deb
