About This

• COLORFUL RAINBOW MIX FOLIAGE: Grow Coleus Rainbow Mix from seed for striking combinations of rose, green, bronze, cream, and scarlet leaf patterns. Broad 2–4 inch leaves provide vibrant, long-season color from spring until frost without relying on flowers for the display.
• MADE FOR SHADE GARDENS: These coleus plants thrive in part shade to shade, making them an excellent choice for colorful garden spaces where many sun-loving flowers struggle. Protect the foliage from harsh direct sun to help maintain its rich color and patterns.
• EASY COLEUS SEEDS FOR PLANTING: Surface sow these tiny seeds and do not cover, as light is required for germination. Keep the growing medium moist and warm at 70–75°F, and seedlings typically emerge within 10–14 days.
• COMPACT BUSHY GROWTH: Rainbow Mix develops into mounded, well-branched foliage plants approximately 12–24 inches tall. Pinch the growing tips regularly to encourage fuller growth and create dense, colorful plants for beds and containers.
• IDEAL CONTAINER PLANT: Grow these colorful foliage plants in patio pots, window boxes, mixed planters, or 6–8 inch indoor containers. Their compact habit and shade tolerance make Rainbow Mix especially useful for brightening covered patios and shaded outdoor spaces.
• INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GROWING: Coleus works as both an outdoor bedding plant and an indoor foliage plant. Outdoors, grow in partial to full shade; indoors, place containers near a bright east or north-facing window and maintain consistent soil moisture.
• SEASON-LONG GARDEN COLOR: Unlike plants grown primarily for their blooms, Rainbow Mix is prized for colorful leaves that develop over the growing season. Pinch off small flower spikes as they appear to help maintain bushy growth and keep attention on the foliage.
• RICH MOIST SOIL FOR BEST GROWTH: Plant coleus in rich, well-drained soil and keep it evenly moist without allowing roots to remain soggy. These tender plants prefer warm conditions and consistent moisture and should be protected from frost and drought.
• VERSATILE SHADE LANDSCAPING: Use Rainbow Mix for shade borders, bedding displays, patio containers, window boxes, mixed planters, and colorful edging. Space plants approximately 10–12 inches apart to create full displays while maintaining healthy airflow.
• 400 OPEN-POLLINATED NON-GMO SEEDS: Each packet contains approximately 400 Rainbow Mix Coleus seeds for planting. Grow these colorful annual foliage plants throughout USDA Zones 2–11, or enjoy them as tender perennials in Zones 10–11 and as indoor container plants.
