Interesting Notes about Coleus:

Coleus is a popular foliage plant and is used as an accent in mixed container gardens or in-ground plantings.  Today's varieties offer many choices on foliage colors, size and leaf shape, habit and light tolerance.  The options are innumerable and exciting, plus coleus is now available for planting in sunny locations where once they were known as a shade plant.  Whether shade-loving or sun-loving, light is important to achieve the best foliage color and will alter the color where the outcome may or may not be desireable.
