Coleus

Coleus is a vibrant favourite cherished for its decorative foliage rather than its flowers. With an almost endless variety of colors, patterns, and shapes – from deep burgundy to lime green, pink, purple, and nearly black – Coleus brings life and character to any room or planting.

This plant thrives in bright light but should be protected from harsh, direct midday sun that can fade its colors. Plant it in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil and keep it lightly moist – it doesn’t like to dry out completely. Pinch back the tips occasionally to encourage bushier growth, and take cuttings easily to propagate your favorites.

Coleus is expressive, playful, and rewarding, making it perfect both indoors on windowsills and outdoors in summer containers – ideal for anyone looking to add color, shape, and creativity to their plant collection.
