Notes
'Coleosaurus' coleus (Solenostemon 'Coleosaurus') is an annual for borders and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 12 to 36 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches. It needs little care, so it suits a low maintenance garden.
Pairs well with Victoria Blue salvia, Black Magic taro, and Black-eyed Susan.
