Morpankhi
Morpankhi, also known as Coleus (Coleus blumei), is a popular ornamental plant known for its vibrant and diverse foliage. Native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, Morpankhi is celebrated for its striking, multicolored leaves that come in a variety of patterns and shades including red, purple, green, and yellow. The plant typically grows 12 to 24 inches tall and is often used in garden beds, borders, and containers for its eye-catching appearance. Morpankhi prefers well-draining soil and thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate some direct sunlight. Regular watering is important, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It is generally grown as an annual in cooler climates but can be kept as a perennial in warmer regions. Morpankhi’s bold foliage makes it a favorite for adding dynamic color and texture to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
