Growing

The leaves bring the colour, so you don't need flowers.

Care

Part shade or dappled light. Most coleus fades in full, hot sun. Space about 30 cm (12 in) apart. At about 15 cm (6 in) tall, pinch the top 5 cm (2 in) just above a leaf and it grows bushy. Pinch off flower spikes too, so it puts its energy into the leaves.
