Notes
'Dipt in Wine' coleus (Coleus scutellarioides 'Dipt in Wine') is an annual for borders and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide. Hummingbirds and birds visit it, and it needs little care.
Pairs well with Victoria Blue salvia, Black Magic taro, Gallery Monet dahlia, and Black-eyed Susan.
