Coleus – Mixed Varieties 🌈🌿

Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a stunning foliage plant prized for its vividly patterned leaves in shades of red, pink, lime, purple, and gold. These mixed varieties offer a playful riot of colour, perfect for pots, hanging baskets, borders, or indoor displays. With its easy-care nature and fast growth, Coleus adds a bold tropical lookwherever you plant it.

Key Features:

✔ A mix of bright, contrasting leaf colours and patterns
✔ Ideal for containers, borders, or as colourful houseplants
✔ Fast-growing and easy to shape or pinch back
✔ Great for shaded areas where flowers won’t thrive
✔ Adds long-lasting colour spring through autumn

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade – outdoor sun may scorch leaves

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy – never let it fully dry out

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter

• Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during growing season

• Pinching: Regularly pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering (which can reduce leaf colour)

• Temperature: Thrives in warm weather – 18–26°C indoors or out in summer

• Frost Warning: Treat as annual outdoors – not frost-hardy. Bring inside or compost before first frost

🌿 Tip: Remove flower spikes as they appear to keep the plant focused on vibrant foliage growth.
