Coleus

Brief Description

Coleus is an annual or perennial plant primarily grown for its vibrant, colorful foliage, which often features intricate patterns and combinations of maroon, red, green, yellow, and other shades. The leaves are typically ovate and may have scalloped or toothed edges.

Care Instructions

Prefers partial to full shade, though some varieties tolerate more sun. Requires consistently moist, well-draining soil. Pinch back growing tips to encourage a bushier growth habit and remove any flower spikes to redirect energy to foliage production. Can be grown outdoors as an annual or indoors as a houseplant.
