Gardeners know that when planning beds, pots and containers that it is not just about the flowers. Foliage is an important to the overall beauty of the landscape. And when it comes to foliage, coleus comes in at the top of the list.

So no matter where in your landscaping you are looking to put coleus, there is always a place that will be a perfect fit. Add to beds, borders, pots and containers for colorful interest.
Coleus is one of the easiest plants to grow. It has long been considered a shade plant but the best leaf color is achieved with morning sun and some degree of afternoon shade. They perform best in partial shade though some varieties can tolerate part sun and can take quite a bit of sun as long as they are not allowed to dry out. Coleus prefer well-draining soil and avoid overly damp soils which can cause leaf drop and encourage disease. They grow rapidly and container plants will require more frequent watering than those in the beds.
