Acalypha pendula

Chenille - Dwarf

Not quite exotic-looking as its sibling Chenille hispida bush and tree, but can still catch one's eyes when planted en masse as a groundcover. Native to the East Indies.

Year-round fuzzy and red blooms, not unlike that of chenille fabric.
Low, trailing habit perfect for groundcover.

Height: 6 - 8 in
Spread: 18 - 24 in
