Coleus - Sedona
These new, bigger, sun loving varieties have revolutionized contanier gardening. Coleus must have good soil drainage. Flower buds should be pinched off as soon as they develop. Coleus plants are so colorful that many people keep them and use them as a house plant. Plants suffering from "wet feet" will be stunted, leaves will turn a muddy brown, and leaf margins will be scorched. If a coleus plant is allowed to seed, it has completed its life cycle and will die. These plants will do best in temperatures above 55 degrees. Coleus plants are durable and easy to grow. The brilliant colors explode in sunny locations. The coleus plants are a tender perennials. For zones 10-11, this plant can also be a perennial.
