Coleus Scutellarioides

Coleus has attractive decorative variegated leaves found in cultivated varieties that are eye-catching. The Coleus plant likes bright light, but avoid exposing it to direct sun to prevent the leaves from losing the colourful variegation. Soil should be kept moist, but Coleus is susceptible to root rot and so be cautious of overwatering it. This beautiful foliage originated from Southeast Asia and Australia with other common names include painted nettle and Coleus Blumei.
