Coleus like it hot
Coleus, a warm-season plant, can be put out anytime through July, says Stan DeFreitas in his "Complete Guide to Florida Gardening."
Excellent for pots, planters and mass displays in flower beds, the tender coleus needs well-drained, improved soil and does best in partial shade.
The breathtaking leaves come in shades and combinations of red, green, yellow and bronze.
Pinch coleus to promote bushy growth.
