Solenostemon 'Fiona'

Coleus

Evergreen Annual or Biennial, Tender Perennial

This annual coleus with colorful foliage is at home in a container, edging a path, or planted en masse as an easy-care, small-scale groundcover to bring pop of showy summer foliage to beds and borders. Distinctive jagged margins on long leaves. Treat as an annual or bring indoors over the winter. It's slow to bloom, but remove the flowers when you see them as they're a detraction from the main attraction — the foliage!
