Colius small

Coleus is a tender tropical plant, native to areas bordering the equator. Warmer zones can grow coleus as garden perennials, where they can grow to resemble small shrubs with thick woody stems. Though it loves the heat, it will happily grow as an annual in just about any garden, where it’s normally used as an annual bedding plant or in containers.

Description

coleus plants are not at all frost-tolerant, so don’t rush to get your plants in the ground. Wait until temperatures remain reliably above 60 degrees Fahrenheit before you move them out in the garden. They will do best in rich, loose, well-drained soil, so amending with compost or adding perlite to soil before planting is advised unless you have very good soil.
