Is it an acalypha? Stunning colours. Your front garden looks quite lush.

The red plant is: Iresine lindenii - Blood Leaf Plant. It's a commonly grown shrub used as a filler plant.

Bernieh:

Thanks. This is just a small section of the yard by the front door.

Youngdaisydee, thanks! It's not that manicured and clean...as the Jacaranda flowers are falling over everything in the front yard.

Mushybanna:

Blood leaf plant is very easy to grow and is extremely easy to grow from cuttings. It a good plant to use as a filler...it can be grown as an annual also. This plant has been in the ground for 5 years now...and it regularly
gets cut back.

Marguerite, thanks!

Mushybanna:

Iresine is a pretty commonly sold plant here...I would
think it may be the case where you live also. Good luck!
