It's commonly called Joseph's coat (referring to the biblical story of Joseph and the coat of many colors) or summer poinsettia. The scientific name is Amaranthus tricolor. Typically the plant has three colors (red, yellow, and green: http://www.seedman.com/image/2970.jpg ), but that morph has two - red to fuschia and purple. http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/Amaranthus_Tricolor.htm http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/84626 http://www.sandmountainherbs.com/amaranth_vegetable.html
