Coleus

Several varieties of Coleus have been added to our current Availability and they are stunning!  They love the heat, but will grow as annuals in just about any garden. They are only hardy outside in Zone 11, but can be grown as houseplants year-round with appropriate lighting. The Kong line is good in shade and part-sun. The Burgundy Sun Coleus is aptly named because its darker foliage performs better with sun and produces its most vivid color in bright sunlight. Coleus does bloom, but the small flowers are fairly insignificant in comparison to the beautiful foliage.  Most gardeners simply pinch off the bloom stalks to encourage more vigor to the colored leaves.
