Notes

'French Quarter' coleus (Solenostemon 'French Quarter') is an annual for borders and containers, and it needs little care. 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 12 to 36 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches. Birds and hummingbirds visit it.

Pairs well with Victoria Blue salvia, Black Magic taro, Gallery Monet dahlia, and Black-eyed Susan.
