• Quick Care Tip: Plant in well-draining soil. Water thoroughly. Place in indirect light for 2 days to acclimate before moving to a spot with at least 4-6 hours of sun for the most vibrant peach colors.

Bring the Tropics to Your Doorstep

Imagine a plant that looks like a sunset caught in a whirlwind. The Acalypha 'Peach Whirl'—often called the ruffled Jacob’s Coat—is not just a plant; it is a conversation starter. With its spectacular, crinkled leaves boasting shades of soft peach, fiery copper, and deep bronze, this variety turns any bland patio or garden bed into a vibrant, tropical escape. If you are tired of standard greenery and want a plant that offers texture, movement, and bold color, the 'Peach Whirl' is your answer.

Unmatched Texture and Color

What sets the 'Peach Whirl' apart from standard copper plants is the unique morphology of its foliage. The leaves twist and curl, revealing different shades on the top and underside, creating a dynamic, multi-dimensional look. As a fast-growing shrub, it can reach mature heights of 3-5 feet in the ground (in tropical zones) or stay a manageable, bushy size in containers. The more sun you give it, the more intense the peach and copper tones become, rewarding you with a display that shifts and deepens throughout the season.

Perfect for Every Space

Whether you are a master gardener or a beginner, this plant works for you. In USDA Zones 10-11, it thrives as a stunning perennial evergreen hedge. In cooler climates (Zones 4-9), it acts as a high-performance annual that grows rapidly to fill empty spaces in your summer garden. It is also an exceptional container plant—pair it with trailing vines for a professional-looking arrangement, or bring it indoors during winter to keep the tropical vibes alive year-round.

Simple Care, Stunning Results

The 'Peach Whirl' is as tough as it is beautiful. It resists most pests and isn't picky about soil, provided it drains well. It thrives on heat and humidity, making it a star performer during the "dog days" of summer when other plants struggle. With just regular watering and a little sunshine, this plant delivers maximum visual impact for minimal effort.
