Summary

A bold tropical accent that spills over containers with vibrant, textured color.

Acalypha pendula is prized for its soft, chenille-like red flower spikes that trail gracefully from hanging baskets and patio pots. The vivid blooms create striking contrast against glossy green foliage, delivering continuous color throughout the warm season.

Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it especially effective in containers, window boxes, and raised planters. In frost-free regions, it can also serve as a seasonal groundcover, where its trailing stems create a lush carpet of foliage and blooms.

Care

Acalypha pendula Care

Plant in full sun for the heaviest flowering, though partial shade is tolerated. In hotter climates, light afternoon shade can help reduce stress.

Grow in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Consistent moisture supports continuous blooming, but avoid prolonged soggy conditions.

Water regularly, especially during hot weather and when grown in containers.

Apply a slow release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage steady flowering.

Light trimming helps maintain a compact, full appearance and encourages fresh growth.

Container Growing Notes

This plant performs exceptionally well in hanging baskets and patio containers. Containers dry out more quickly than garden beds, so monitor soil moisture closely and water as needed.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure containers have adequate drainage holes.

Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.

Great Value!
Color: Tall Set - Black White
Better than anticipated. These are sturdy and work very well. They came with a little funnel to fill, but easy enough without it. They are attractive, I keep on top my stove as I have room. Grind well.

Defective coarseness adjuster
Color: Tall Set - Black White
These salt and pepper shakers are ok. According to the description of the product, you should be able to adjust the coarseness of the salt and pepper added to them, but that was not my case. The coarseness adjuster on the set I received is set to one position and there is no way of changing it. The grinders work well, but if you are looking to adjust the coarseness of your salt and/or pepper look for another grinder set.
