Its vivid foliage adds eye-catching color to any garden or indoor space, especially in places where many flowering plants struggle.

Growing Instructions:

• Direct sow Coleus seeds in early spring by pressing them lightly into the soil’s surface. Keep the soil moist until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days.
• For an earlier start, seeds can be sown indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost of spring.
• Once seedlings are established, water them regularly, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but well-draining.
• Pinch off the growing tips of the stems to encourage a bushier plant and to focus growth on the colorful foliage.
• Coleus thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an ideal choice for shaded gardens or indoor settings.
