Coleus Watermelon Seed
Best vibrant foliage choice for sun-loving container and landscape gardeners.
These seeds offer a rare, sun-tolerant coleus that thrives where others wilt, trading traditional blooms for a high-contrast pink and lime-green foliage display. It is the ideal low-maintenance anchor for containers, provided you keep it shaded in the harshest heat to protect those vibrant leaves.
