Coleus Coleus is a bushy, herbaceous subshrub with highly colored leaves and spikes of blue and white flowers. Not drought tolerant, needs regular, adequate amounts of water. Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly, greatly appreciates side dressings of compost or manure. Plants tend to die out if flowers allowed to go to seed. Will grow in full sun, but the leaf colors will wash out.
Deep shade reduces vibrancy of leaf color.
