Coleus blumei. Coleus is eye-catching in large, carefree drifts; paired with other shade-loving annuals in window boxes, whimsical containers and urns; or in tranquil shade gardens, adding color tucked in between hosta.

Once established, our Colorful Wizard mixture needs very little maintenance and ideally suited for landscape plantings. Deer resistant. Annual. Summer flowering. Height: 10" to 20".

Coleus blumei. Prized for their exotic and colorful
foliage, Coleus should be started indoors at least
6 to 8 weeks before transplanting outside after all
danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds on top of the
soil mix, leaving the seeds uncovered but pressed
firmly onto the soil surface, as light is needed for
germination. Provide even, lukewarm moisture and
strong light during germination. Prepare a garden
bed in dappled sunlight or shade, with rich, welldraining
soil. Harden the plants off by gradually
acclimating them to outside conditions over 1 to 2
weeks. Thin or carefully transplant the seedlings
into the garden, planting them 8" to 12" apart. To
encourage branching, pinch back the young plants
once 8" tall, and flowers as they form. All the rage
in Victorian gardens, Coleus are perfect companions
in window boxes, whimsical containers, urns and
in tranquil shade gardens. Height: 10" to 20".
