Definition
A tropical ornamental plant with distinctive copper-colored or reddish-brown foliage, commonly grown in gardens and landscapes.
Etymology
Compound of copper and leaf, describing the plant's most distinctive feature—its leaves that display copper or bronze coloration rather than typical green.
Kelly Says
Copperleaf plants (genus Acalypha) are actually native to Australia and the Pacific islands, but they became wildly popular in Victorian gardens because their dramatic copper leaves stayed colorful year-round—exotic color without needing flowers!
