Colourful Coleus Tips

Get with the Coleus plan for colour and texture. Keep frost free this winter and enjoy vibrantly coloured leaves.

An astonishing range of brilliant foliage colours and forms are available from Coleus plants. The red leaved ‘Scarlet Poncho’ has a thin green outer edge or there is the Fiery Red of ‘Molten Lava’. Textured leaves are an added attraction.

Top Ten Tips for Great Coleus

  • Sow from seed annually and plant outside when all frost has gone. Coleus are not hardy.
  • For bold effects when planting look for Coleus varieties in separate colours but if you use a seed mix look out for a form and colour you like and want to keep.
  • When plants are 5 inches high pinch out tips to encourage side branches to develop. Then pinch out again when branches reach a similar length.
