Copper Plant (Acalypha wilkesiana)

The Copper Plant (Acalypha wilkesiana), also known as Copperleaf or Jacob’s Coat, is a bold, fast-growing ornamental shrub or small tree celebrated for its magnificent, large, heart-shaped leaves that come in a spectacular palette of rich copper, bronze, red, orange, and purple tones. It is an outstanding choice for creating vivid, colourful hedges, screen plantings, and mixed tropical borders. Its intense, year-round foliage colour provides a dramatic contrast against green lawns and surrounding plants, making it a go-to accent plant for premium landscape designs.
