Cultivar in home garden

 

Synonyms:

Plants in the genus Coleus have been moved to either genus Plectranthus or Solenostemon.

 

Comment: Coleus is widely grown in summer gardens for its foliage which is wildly diverse in both colour and shape. The pigment anthrocyanin plays an important role in the colour patterns.
