Iresine herbstii

I have this lovely plant in my garden but I have no idea what it is. Can someone please help me identify it? Thanks!

Hello Kristi 👋 Thank you for posting what we hope will be the first of many photos. 👏

You can find other like-minded gardeners by tapping on Discover and then "Popular" or "Recommended". There you will see other great photos of plants and gardens and you can of course “follow” anyone that you see there should you like to do so!

Should you ever need to reply to a message in your feed or just want to say 'hello', simply @username an individual i.e. @teamgardentags and that person will get an alert in their profile. Really hope this is helpful and you enjoy using GT! 😃

Thanks also for asking us to help identify your plant #PlantID. Fellow GT'ers are you able to help Kristi? @PlantDoctor @David @barbaramatthews @justin @richard.spicer.7906 @thedanielrichards @Garyg @linfoster @joanboston @gardening_greek @tiggrx @kathy

Readily strikes from cuttings in water. Doesn't like the cold. Where are you?

Oh Leisel!!! 🙊 I'll have to examine my 'coleus' more closely... 👀 Thanks!! 👍@leisel

@brightcolours lol. I don't always get the right name just that I was asked by neighbour other day what it was called and for life of me couldn't think of it....why I researched it to then recognised it when Kristi posted.

Thanks so much @brightcolours and @leisel
