How to Grow
Coleus are back on trend! Thanks to modern breeding and new introductions, these tender perennials are being rediscovered by gardeners. Coleus boast boldly coloured foliage with a velvety appearance that makes a sensational display in patio pots, beds and borders. These quick growing, well branched plants have been selected for their similar growth habits and weather resistant foliage. They’re versatile too, thriving in sun or shade! Height and spread: 45cm (18").
Coleus Freaky Leaves Collection comprises:
- Coleus ‘Board Street’(Main Street Series) - Alluring, dark foliage with a delicate border of lime green.
- Coleus ‘Presidio’ (Stained Glassworks Series) - Upright variety with golden foliage s[plashed with wine red.
- Coleus ‘Velvet’ (Stained Glassworks Series) - Heat tolerant with a strong growth habit and vibrant foliage.
- Coleus ‘Spacecake’ (Stained Glassworks Series) - Dark veining on the foliage gives an unusual crinkled appearance.
- Coleus ‘Alligator Alley’ (Main Street Series) - Exquisite foliage colour and a strong upright habit.

Pot up Coleus plug plants and grow them on in warm frost-free conditions for transplanting later on. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise painted nettle plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days, before transplanting them outdoors into beds, borders and containers. Plant Coleus plants in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Solenostemon can also be grown as houseplants, situated on a warm, bright window sill or in a conservatory or heated greenhouse.
More Info Feed and water Coleus plants regularly, particularly during hot, dry periods. Remove any developing flower spikes as they will weaken the plant and cause poor quality foliage. Coleus houseplants should be given full light and a warm position in the winter months. Reduce watering and keep the compost just moist to prevent rotting and fungal diseases developing. Pinch back Solenostemon plants in the spring as growth resumes.
