Description
Coleus sp. is a vibrant and popular ornamental plant, known for its colorful foliage and ease of care. Native to Africa, Asia, and Australia, it thrives in warm, shaded environments with well-drained soil. Coleus showcases a wide palette of leaf colors—ranging from green, yellow, pink, red, and purple to maroon—often in striking patterns. Though its flowers are small and not the main attraction, the plant brings dramatic visual interest to borders, containers, and garden beds. It is typically grown as an annual but can survive as a perennial in warm climates like Cyprus. With moderate watering and regular pruning, Coleus remains a stunning addition to any landscape.
