About
Coleus are native to tropical areas in Southeast Asia, including Java, and were collected and pressed between papers as herbarium specimens as early as 1830. They became favored in the 1870s as they appealed to the Victorian sentiment for rich patterns and colors in elaborate carpet beds of the era. Grow in containers in the sun or afternoon shade with begonia and fuchsia to create colorful instant gardens on the terrace.
