Coleus is very renowned for the beauty of its foliage. The Crown Jewel variety has dark red, lobed leaves edged with yellow. In order to keep its shape compact, it is recommended to regularly pinch the tips of the stems. Also, during its growth period, it fears drought and prefers its soil to remain slightly humid.
