10 Seeds Coleus Blumei Premium Color Mix Ornamental Foliage Plant Shade Garden

Coleus blumei, commonly known as coleus, is a tender perennial grown for its vibrant, patterned foliage in a wide mix of colors including green, red, pink, yellow, and burgundy. This premium color mix produces plants with striking leaf variation, making them a favorite for adding bold texture and color to containers, beds, and borders.
Coleus works beautifully in shaded garden beds, patio pots, and hanging baskets where its colorful leaves provide season-long interest. Plants grow upright and bushy, responding well to pinching for a fuller shape. Foliage color intensifies in bright, indirect light while avoiding harsh afternoon sun.
