🪴Another plant I fell in love with this summer ✨

I believe this is another type of coleus, I am not sure. I bought this plant with my mammaw because I loved the deep reddish/purple leaves and I figured it would spread. It was a lot smaller when I first got it! #summervibes #lemon8contest #summer #plant #garden Pennsylvania

Coleus plants are evergreen perennials that belong to the mint family, widely appreciated for their striking foliage and ease of care. Their colorful leaves range from deep purples and reds to vibrant greens and yellows, making them a versatile addition to any garden or indoor collection. Known for their ability to thrive in partial shade and well-drained soil, coleus plants grow quickly and can spread to create lush ground cover or eye-catching container displays. Summer is the perfect season to enjoy coleus plants, as their vivid colors truly flourish with regular watering and protection from harsh midday sun. Many gardeners appreciate coleus for its low maintenance requirements — it's drought tolerant once established and can tolerate varying light conditions. Additionally, coleus can be propagated easily through cuttings, allowing gardeners to expand their collections without extra cost. Using coleus in garden beds, borders, or as companion plants enhances the texture and contrast among other summer flowers and greenery. The reddish-purple leaf varieties mentioned in the article stand out dramatically against green foliage, creating a focal point that brightens up any garden space. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener in Pennsylvania or similar climates, coleus is a rewarding plant choice that offers vibrant color and effortless beauty throughout the summer months. To maximize the health and spread of coleus plants, it’s important to pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth and remove any flower spikes to promote leaf development. Fertilizing monthly with a balanced fertilizer supports their lush foliage. Incorporating coleus into your garden not only adds aesthetic appeal but also provides an engaging gardening experience during the warm season. This plant is perfect for those who fall in love with unique, colorful greenery and want to create a vibrant summer garden oasis.

My fave for years! I got some starters that were barely alive for a fraction of the price. At the store they got to cold and were very limp. I knew I could save them and I did! Huge full and bushy. Now they’ll die off for the winter soon.😭 South Dakota life.

These Pink Princesses are the center of attention whenever family members or guests visit. I bought both of them from #walmart about August 2024. These plants are hardy but despise direct sunlight. I use a #Sans grow light for 8hours a day and water them every other week depending on the season
