Coleus – Vibrant Foliage for Shade and Sun

Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a striking foliage plant prized for its bold, multicolored leaves in shades of green, burgundy, pink, purple, and yellow. Ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers, this versatile plant thrives in both sun and shade, adding year-round color and texture to your space.

Growing Conditions:

Sunlight: Partial shade to full sun, depending on the variety. In hot climates, afternoon shade is recommended.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.

Soil: Well-draining, rich soil with good organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

Climate: Grows best in warm temperatures (15–30°C). Protect from frost.

Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season for lush growth.

Maintenance: Pinch off growing tips to encourage bushy growth. Remove flower spikes to prolong leaf vibrancy.

Perfect for borders, mixed planters, and shaded areas, Coleus brings a tropical flair to any garden!
