Coleus

Available in a huge range of leaf sizes, exotic color combinations, patterns and shapes, coleus is used by landscapers and home gardeners for its amazing foliage. A long-time favorite for shady locations, vegetative coleus produced from cuttings now offer many sun-loving varieties that combine extremely well with most annuals and perennials to build stunning mixed containers and landscapes. Easy to grow and tolerant of less-than-ideal conditions, vegetative coleus are much larger and more vigorous than seed-grown varieties, and present a flower spike much later into the season than seed types.
