Oh we love these black Coleus for making ever so artistic shade vignettes! To 18” tall & multi-branching, ‘Black Dragon’ forms large, velvety black leaves with a frilly edge & ruby red centers. So dramatic combined with the little chartreuse bells of Nicotiana langsdorfii &/or the magenta “butterfly” blooms of Schizanthus grahamii. Find your inner artist! Excellent in containers & can be grown as a “so 70’s” houseplant, too!
