Isn't it fantastic, this dark Coleus? The richly branching, 40 cm tall plants have large, velvety, almost black leaves with a scalloped edge and a wine-red heart. Artistic combinations with white or pink flowering plants come to mind… create something beautiful in your garden or in pots!
A plant with an old "windowsill tradition". The nettle-like leaves have many shape and color variations. Easy to sow, "a child could do it." Regular pinching prevents flowering and keeps the plant bushy. In the summer, of course, it's also beautiful for outdoors!
