Coleus foliage can be
as exciting as flowers
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
Coleus is one of my favorite plants to use for color in the landscape.
Bold, colorful and completely unfazed by the heat, these plants know how to put on a show. When everything else starts to fade under long, hot afternoons, coleus steps in with layers of color and intricate patterns that keep the garden lively from morning to evening.
The best time to plant coleus is in early spring, so shop now for selections to add to your landscape.
