Description
Acalypha ‘Cat’s Tail’ (Acalypha hispida), also known as the Chenille Plant, is a tropical evergreen shrub famous for its long, fuzzy, bright red flower spikes that resemble a cat’s tail. Native to Southeast Asia, this fast-growing plant thrives in warm, humid climates and prefers full sun to partial shade. It produces cascading blooms year-round in ideal conditions, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets, containers, and garden borders. It requires well-draining soil, regular watering, and occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage flowering.
