The Acalypha pendula Chenille Firetail is a tropical plant that produces fuzzy red flowers that trail from a mound of serrated leaves.
It's best grown in hanging baskets or elevated containers because the flowers can grow up to 18 in long.
The plant prefers temperatures above 60ºF and should be kept moist but not wet.
During the winter, it should be brought indoors and treated as a houseplant.
The plant is an everbloomer and is easy to grow, but t is a heavy feeder, so fertilize once a week.
