Coleus Campfire
Best foliage plant for gardeners seeking vibrant, sun-tolerant seasonal color.
This is the rare coleus that actually thrives in the sun, trading the typical shade-only limitation for a brilliant, coppery glow. It is a high-impact foliage plant that demands regular pinching to stay bushy, but the trade-off is a fast-growing, vibrant centerpiece that anchors any container or border.
