About Coleus
It can be hard to find a bright pop of color for that tricky shady spot in your garden, but Coleus is always happy to steal the (albeit kind of dim) spotlight.
This low-maintenance, high-impact annual prefers moist, rich, loose soil and part-shade, and can even tolerate full shade (but may get leggy while she searches for a little more sun).
Coleus’s gem-toned, highly contrasted foliage can mound to 3’ high and 3’ wide, making her a dramatic addition to the part-shade garden.
|
Pros
Low maintenance, high contrast
Adds great color to your part-shade garden
Easily propagated from cuttings in water or potting soil
|
Cons
Can wilt in full sun - she can do it sometimes with extra love (more water)
Can get leggy in full-shade
Prefers moist soil and is not drought-tolerant
|
| Highlights |
I can take a sunny site if I get water every day but careful not to have soggy soil or standing water. Watch for me to wilt - it's a sign I need more water. |
