This large shrub is very difficult to grow outside the subtropical/tropical climate zone, even indoors (in winter).

Oh. We have no trouble here at all in summer. Poke it in the pot, it'll be huge, just can't be in the wind.

Yes, they grow well as a summer annual in colder climates.

I was surprised how many Acalypha I was able to grow in Fremont (Mission San Jose). They don't look very good in winter; however, spring - late fall they can look excellent. Acalypha needs as much sun and heat as you can give it.

What else?
This photo is of species Acalypha 'Ceylon'.
See who else has plants in genus Acalypha.
We had this as a greenhouse annual. The owner always loving new foliage colors. It grew so fast and big, it was hard to put with anything. I like to see it here more matured. Great colors.
