I like red coleus plants the best. Red is my favorite color. While looking through a garden center in New Jersey (Brock’s on Route 1) I came across these Trusty Rusty coleus plants.

Mainly red with a yellow/green border these coleus plants will be great. They will grow to be about 18″-24″ tall and 16″-24″ wide. The tag says they should be in partial shade and will be fine from sprint to first frost.

Be careful when it gets hot, coleus can dry out quickly. Once watered they usually make a dramatic recovery.

Enjoy your coleus!

Got my first coleus plant of the season. This is a particularly small one. Looking forward to seeing how large it will get.

Most coleus plants come with more than one color. Some come in predominately one color…like this green variety.

When leaves grow on a Coleus plant you will always see two at a time. The grow across from each other…and are perpendicular to the previous two leaves. Cool.
