Coleus ‘Vino’ is a remarkable ornamental plant with rich, intense foliage that immediately adds depth to any setting. Its velvety, slightly toothed leaves display deep shades of wine-red to burgundy, often accentuated by darker, almost purple nuances. Depending on the light, its colors can vary, becoming more vibrant and contrasting in bright light. Its bushy and generous habit makes it an ideal plant for indoor pots as well as outdoor arrangements during the warm season. Highly prized for its visual effect, it is cultivated primarily for its foliage rather than its flowers, which are generally discreet. To maintain its compact shape, it is recommended to regularly pinch the tips of the stems. It also dislikes dryness and prefers its soil to remain slightly moist.
