Coleus are shade loving, jewel-toned foliage plants that thrive in bright shade. The kaleidoscope of color options seem to grow each year. Set these gems among blooming shade plants in your garden for a splash of bright light and accent color.
Coleus are distant cousins of mint. They like it on the shady side and have even been known to thrive in a bright window indoors. We consider them annuals; performing well till the first frost.
Enjoy them in a container or directly in the ground, feed about every 4 weeks with Maxsea Acid Plant Food to keep foliage fresh looking. Pinch tips of new growth to keep plants compact.
