Sun to Shade
The velvety, bicolored foliage of Coleus Stained Glassworks® Velvet showcases lime green leaf centers with rich maroon margins. While the upright plants adapt themselves to shady environments, we found in our trials that the dark red edging on the leaves is much more pronounced in full sun.
The endlessly varied foliage of Coleus has made a comeback as gardeners rediscover old varieties and breeders introduce new ones. Our selection offers a diversity of foliage color, leaf shape, and growth habit, and they all make glorious container subjects. Though most tolerate full sun, they are more valuable for color in shade.
