Coleus (genus: Plectranthus) refers to a group of plants known for their colorful and patterned leaves rather than their flowers. While coleus plants do produce small, insignificant flowers, they are often grown for the vibrant foliage rather than the blooms. The leaves come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, making coleus a popular choice for ornamental gardens and indoor spaces.
Coleus plants are typically grown as annuals or as indoor plants in containers. They thrive in well-draining soil and partial to full shade. The foliage can be green, red, purple, yellow, or a combination of these colors, and the patterns may include stripes, spots, or contrasting edges.
