Coleus (Plectranthus) have been in gardens since the 1800’s and have dramatically varying foliage colors. Depending on the variety chosen, coleus can be planted in the shade or sun and look great in the landscape or in containers as thrillers, fillers and/or spillers. Grown mostly for their striking foliage, pair with other annuals for stunning combination creations. If you see a flower blooming on your coleus plant, feel free to trim it off for a continued fabulous show of foliage.
