Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides) is grown mainly for its spectacular, brightly coloured foliage, in shades of red, pink, green and yellow. The leaves with contrasting patterns bring colour to shady areas, where flowers are scarcer. The plant prefers partial shade and fertile, moist soils, and is easy to grow in pots. It is sensitive to cold, so it is treated as an annual or brought indoors over winter. Coleus is valued for its decorative foliage, ideal for shaded pots and planters.
