Coleus
Coleus, scientifically known as Plectranthus scutellarioides, is a vibrant and versatile plant renowned for its striking, multicolored foliage. Native to tropical regions, Coleus is celebrated for its diverse range of leaf colors and patterns, including shades of red, pink, purple, green, and yellow, often in intricate combinations. This plant typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for adding bold, dynamic color to garden beds, containers, and hanging baskets. Coleus thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light to partial shade, though it can tolerate some direct sun. Regular watering is essential, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Coleus is known for its ease of care and ability to thrive in various conditions, adding a lively and colorful touch to any outdoor or indoor space. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a selection of high-quality Coleus plants to enhance your garden or home decor.
