Acalypha – tiger tails

They are known here more as tiger tails but sadly not many have them in their gardens  They are common and because of the  craze for planting only the exotic not many choose them. 

But I am different. I have a place for everything that grows easily and that which needs little care or attention. 

What we need is greenery and colour and the plants I have provide all that. What I have attracts birds as well. 

 In a quest for the exotic I have known gardeners neglecting their gardens as little do they know it is the ordinary that can make their gardens look extraordinary.

  1. This is a very different type of plant/flower. Very pretty. Unfortunately, living in Canada, I do not believe it would grow that well. Anyway I do not have the green thumb at all…. It still remains that this plant is beautiful…
