Sorry I know this is a house plant.
It’s called a flaming nettle can anyone tell me about them as I was given this one with no information on it.

It looks to me as if you have been given a Coleous. 

They can be used for summer bedding as well as grown for indoor pot plants.

Try an internet search - there's loads of information available it seems but these two pages might be of use to start you off:
