Coleus (Rainbow Mix) - Remarkable foliage color, and easily grown from Coleus seeds, this annual mix is a reliable summer performer that gardeners depend on for their shady borders. The mix is extremely popular, and it includes a complete color range, from green-yellow, bronze and red. The seeds also can be grown for an excellent house plant which will add color to those dreary winter days. Find a sunny window sill, and Coleus plants will perform nicely indoors. Originating in Africa and Indonesia, these exotic looking plants perform well as shade garden plants, in pots and containers, and in hanging baskets. They need a partially shady setting and prefer moist, rich soil, with good drainage.
Common Questions
Will coleus come back each year?
Coleus is a tender perennial hardy only in U.S southernmost zones 10 and 11. In zones 7 and higher this annual can reseed but you'll have to allow it to flower.
How much do coleus plants spread?
Height and spread depend on variety. Cultivars can grow from 6 to 36 inches tall and wide. Taller plants with large leaves tend to stay more upright while smaller, dwarf varieties feature a wider growth pattern.
How long will my coleus plant live?
Coleus is most often grown as an annual and replanted every spring. Some varieties can be grown in pots and overwintered indoors for three to five years with adequate care.
Will a coleus plant be safe for my dog?
Coleus can make dogs, cats and horses ill if they eat it. Choose a different, non-toxic plant if your pet tends to sample your garden.
My leaves are wilting why?
This is generally caused by too much direct sunlight. Keep your plants watered well for the soil to be moist but not waterlogged.

Coleus (Black Dragon) - For a dark foliage plant, start Coleus seeds and enjoy the show! Solenostemon scutellarioides is perfect for adding some intense color into the shade border. Or grow a house plant indoors in a sunny window. Black Dragon is an unusually richly-textured, warmly-colored foliage plant. Compact, very showy, and easy to grow, it's a must-have for anyone with an area of shade, and it's so easy to establish with flower seeds. The leaves are spectacular, both for their red-to-midnight-purple color shading and their rippling edges which will pucker and begin to turn colors. A familiar common name is Painted Nettle. It is suggested to start these flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected.
