Sun Coleus

The Downtown series grows well in sun or shade and flowers late allowing the leaves and habit to remain at their best. Downtown Santa Monica has deeply lobed leaves with variable leaf-shape and mixed coloring of rose-red, green, and burgundy.  It is a favorite with landscapers and homeowners. Foliage is a great accent to all shade gardens and landscape. The wide range of colors are so varied that just mixing different Coleus together is striking.
