| With colorful leaves, Coleus are perfect for providing constant brightness in shaded and partly-shaded areas. Leaves can be heart- or lance-shaped, laced or fringed, and variously-edged, mottled or streaked in mixes of chartreuse, red, lime, pink, salmon, yellow, purple and green. Use pure strains, with one leaf color combination, with other plants of varying texture and color. Mixed strains, with many different hues, introduce a riot of color in the garden. | ||
