Why Grow Coleus 'Rainbow Mix'?

Coleus 'Rainbow Mix' is celebrated for its striking foliage, which comes in an array of vibrant colors that can instantly uplift any garden space. This mix is particularly well-suited for shaded areas, making it an ideal choice for adding color where most flowers struggle to thrive. Its versatility in both garden beds and containers makes it a favorite among gardeners who want a low-maintenance yet visually stunning plant.

Growing Tips:

• Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Coleus prefers warm temperatures, so transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed. Place the seeds on the surface of the soil and press down lightly, as they need light to germinate.
• Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
• Light Requirements: Coleus thrives in partial shade to full shade. In areas with intense sunlight, provide filtered light or morning sun to prevent the foliage from scorching.
• Maintenance: Pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and remove any flower spikes that appear, as this can prolong the vibrant color of the foliage.

Uses in the Garden:

• Shade Gardens: Coleus 'Rainbow Mix' is perfect for brightening up shaded areas of your garden, where it can create a stunning contrast against green foliage.
• Containers and Hanging Baskets: Its compact growth habit makes Coleus an excellent choice for containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Mix it with other shade-loving plants for a vibrant display.
• Borders and Edging: Use Coleus 'Rainbow Mix' as a colorful border plant or as an accent in garden beds. Its striking colors make it a focal point in any landscape design.
• Indoor Houseplant: Coleus can also be grown indoors as a houseplant. Place it near a bright window with indirect light, and it will continue to thrive and brighten your indoor space.
