About Outsidepride Coleus Dark Chocolate - 20 Seeds

Coleus (Dark Chocolate) - You do not need beautiful flowers when you have foliage like this from Coleus Dark Chocolate. This Coleus will display its colorful glory every single day from germination until hard frost. This burgundy-violet variety is breathtaking, its foliage looking even darker in partial shade, its leaves neatly "pinked." No matter how hot your summer days get, Dark Chocolate will not turn a greenish color. You simply have to try it this season. Coleus is a neat and uniform, compact plant, especially if you pinch the growing tip a few times when the seedlings are young. This coleus reaches 12 to 14 inches high and about 12 inches wide making it an ideal plant for containers as well as the garden! At some point it will set tiny flowers on tall stems, but these don't do much for its looks, and can be snipped off. Remember, you plant coleus for its magnificent foliage, not is flowers. Happy to grow in full sun if given plenty of water, this adaptable coleus also smolders in the shade. It looks good from the moment its tiny new leaves emerge from flower seed clear until a hard frost occurs. There are not too many flowering annuals that can boast that claim.
