Gorgeous in beds and as edgings. For a striking contrast, plant an edging of Alyssum, Carpet Of Snow. 56 - 70 days to bloom. Grows best in full sun to a height of 10 inches. A favorite for its large velvety leaves in many rich colors and combinations with red, green and yellow predominating, make this a superb ornamental plant.
Coleus develops rich colors if shaded from afternoon sun.
Very attractive massed, planted in borders, or as an edging. Leaves may be rooted and potted for winter color as indoor houseplant. Pinch tops to encourage branching. Grows best in partial and full shade to a height of 12 inches. Half Hardy Annual.
