Coleus

Coleus comes in vibrant colors. This attractive foliage plant is great for containers and underplanting. Although coleus will usually survive in sun, the color of the leaves is enhanced in the shade. Small, insignificant flowers will appear late summer. Pinch off blooms and growing shoots of young plants to encourage bushier foliage.

The advantage of this coleus is, it grows from a small stem. If you already have a coleus plant that is medium in size, just take a small branch of it, dip it in water over the night and plant it in a shady area. Now you have a new tenant that spreads with great color. Very economic!!!!
