Thanks Deebie! Are the pink stems unusual? Not seeing any photos like that online of sanchezia

The link that Lin provided says that the colored stems are not unusual. I forgot to mention that you have a nice health specimen and Welcome! to ATP. What plant hardiness zone are you in?

I'm not familiar with Sanchezia; thought it looked like Iresine as well. I had one last year that was very similar.

@purpleinopp Tiffany, I think you may be right! I never thought of Iresine but it really looks more like that than Sanchezia!!
For comparison, check out this photo:

The more sun the plant receives, the leaves will turn really beautiful in color!
