Solenostemon scutellarioides

Solenostemon scutellarioides "Coleus Multi Coloured"  Is a winner in my garden with its large colourful leaves in various shapes and sizes. A tropical tender perennial that is grown as a popular foliage plant with an almost infinite number of leaf color combinations including most colors of the spectrum apart from a true blue. Coleus has no serious insect or disease problem, but watch for insects such as aphids, spider mites and whiteflies. I grown mine in pots but will do well in most containers, window boxes, hanging baskets and as edging plant. A proven winner for me....
