Coleus 180MM

Coleus assorted

I am Coleus. My family originated from South East Asia.

Habit Shrub - Loves the shade and growing indoors
Plant family Lamiaceae
I produce a stunning array brightly coloured leaves in a range of colours including red, pink, green and yellow. I perform well potted as an indoor plant or planted out in the garden. I produce small mostly white and fairly insignificant short flower sprays during summer. I am easy to grow but do not like frost and do best with consistent moisture levels. Keep me well trimmed to encourage a dense and bushy form.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My brightly coloured foliage in shades of red, pink, green and yellow adds colour to wherever I am grown
I thrive in shade and happy indoors
I am just as happy in pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
