Solenostemon scutellarioides
Sun or Shade
16″ height
20″ width
Upright habit

Great for mixed containers or in your landscape. If used in a container, this coleus works well as a thriller and potentially a filler (depending on the size of your companion plants).

Grown for foliage, these plants do well in Sun or Shade conditions, and are sure to be a stunner in any location.

To keep this coleus looking its best, here are a few guidelines for care:
Deer resistant
Heat resistant
Water regularly (allow the top several inches of soil to dry out before watering again)
Fertilize every 2 weeks (easiest to use a water soluble fertilizer in your watering can on your pre-determined day)
Coleus will flower, however, they are grown for foliage. If you like the looks of the flowers, just leave them be. If you don’t like how the flowers look, just give them a quick pinch off!
Coleus are very susceptible to cold temperatures and water. If the outside temperatures near freezing, its best to have coleus covered or moved inside.

Coleus is also adaptable as a house plant! Place it where it will receive at least 4 hours of sunlight throughout the day and enjoy all year round!
