The Colorful World Of Coleus

 

 

Coleus, known for its stunning foliage, is one of the most popular seasonal annuals. These plants come in a dazzling array of colors, patterns, and shapes, making them an excellent addition to any garden or container. From deep reds, and hot pinks, to chartreuse, yellows and oranges, coleus leaves feature striking patterns.
 

Each year, top horticultural breeders and developers introduce their newest Coleus varieties to the marketplace. They continue to introduce new color combinations and leaf shapes annually that create high demand for these plants.
 

Depending on the variety, they can grow from a few inches to several feet tall, and their bushy appearance makes them a favorite for creating eye-catching displays. Some tolerate full sun, others do best in partial shade, so it’s important to choose the right one for your environment.
 

 

Coleus is a low-maintenance plant and easy to care for in both pots and garden beds.
 

• They like consistently moist soil and do not do well in drought conditions.

• Frost is not their friend, so protect them from freezing temperatures.

• Remove any flowers that appear so the plant can focus it’s energy on producing more vibrant leaves.
 

Coleus is a versatile option and suits gardeners of all skill levels. Their bold and colorful foliage makes them a perfect choice for flower beds, hanging baskets, or mixed arrangements. Consider adding coleus to your collection, it is a stunning addition to any space.
