in Gardening in the Shade

Coleus are one of the most striking shade plants out there. They have ridiculously ostentatious leaves, usually in shades of magenta and lime, and there are literally hundreds of varieties, so there is bound to be at least one coleus that would look good on your balcony or patio. What are your favorite varieties of Coleus?

Here are my top 10:

  1. Rustic Orange
  2. Fireball
  3. Religious Rutabaga
  4. Fishnet Stockings
  5. Indian Frills
  6. The Line
  7. Pineapple
  8. Jupiter
  9. Mission Gem
  10. Burning Bush
