Create a colorful splash in your garden with dramatic variations in the gorgeous foliage of this easy-to-grow Coleus. Spear-shaped, chartreuse leaves are spattered with dark, chocolate-y contrast in irregular patterns - each one displaying oh-so-different patterns, dictated by light exposure, age & the whim of the plant!

It’s a great choice for filling out Fall plantings & perfect for a container.
