Wall Street Coleus has an upright spreading growth habit, and is a gorgeous low maintenance annual!
Coleus plants are eye-catching and incredibly vibrant. Colorful Coleus foliage can outperform many flowering plants when it comes to providing consistent season long color and can even be used as long-lasting cut foliage for floral arrangements.
These naturally evergreen tropicals are commonly grown as annuals in areas that experience freezes and frosts but can easily be overwintered as container plants in a warm area that receives either direct sunlight or bright indirect light. Foliage colors of sun loving types may be brightest and most intense when grown in at least a half a day of direct sunlight. Cool and cold soil temperatures and even light frosts can be detrimental to plant vigor and health especially for young plants. They will grow continuously under warm tropical conditions and may exceed the listed size but can be pruned anytime during the growing season if desired. If you notice flower spikes, remove them to keep the plants full and bushy.
Coleus perform best with continuous moisture, but are not heavy feeders—an all purpose monthly fertilizer is sufficient.
Annual in zones 9-0 (will die in the winter)
Fast grower, will reach 8-24" tall and up to 2 feet wide
It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water.
