I bought some of these red leaved plants for foliage colour. At first glance I thought they were Coleus but then realised that the leaves are not right, not nettle like. I googled them but found nothing. I bet somebody knows because our garden centre had lots of them but no names.

It looks like Iresine Chris. They can grow quite large like a coleus but much nicer. I'm not 100 % sure but it looks simmilar to Iresine. Mine are hopeless this year or I'd have put a photo of them, but my friend Beryl has one and I'm going to her's tomorrow so I'll take a photo of it so you can compare them.

Thanks Blodyn. I'll google it and see whether it fits.
