Notes
'Heartbreaker' coleus (Solenostemon 'Heartbreaker') 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 12 to 36 inches tall and spreads 12 to 24 inches. Birds and hummingbirds visit it, and it needs little care.
Pairs well with Victoria Blue salvia, Black Magic taro, Gallery Monet dahlia, and Black-eyed Susan.
