Acalypha Raggedy Anne


Acalypha Raggedy Anne has very large foliage which is a fantastic red
colour. This plant is excellent for screening and really stands out in
your garden with it's autumn colours - a must have for winter colour in
your garden! When the light catches the foliage it's nearly on fire, one
of my favourites!

Acalypha Raggedy Anne is part of the Euphorbe family and is extremely
tough and drought hardy. They are excellent for Australian gardens,
although best in a frost free position. Excellent for screening due to
it's bushy growth habit, and looks wonderful in pots. Very easy to look
after!

Acalypha Raggedy Anne grows to around 3m tall but is easily trimmed or
pruned to shape. Pruning from early on when the plant is young
encourages branching and makes it even better for hedging or screening.
