These bright colored annuals have an almost ornamental look to them. Their splashy variegated leaves sport colors of pink, red, purple, bronze, or orange. They grow to be about 10-20″ high but like part shade conditions. Depending on the variety though, full sun may be ok. They are good for beds, borders, or pots. Coleus is a great annual for that striking look needed in every garden.
