Coleus

Coleus plants, made popular as Victorian bedding plants, made a huge comeback in the 1990s and show no sign of fading back into anonymity. These lovely plants give us all-season color in full sun, shade, and everything in between and are the ultimate low-maintenance plant. Coleus are tender tropical plants, native to areas bordering the equator. They love the heat but will happily grow as annuals in just about any garden.
