Notes
'Marginatus' coleus (Coleus forsteri 'Marginatus') is a perennial for ground cover, naturalized areas, and annual beds. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It is drought tolerant, so it suits low-care spots. Pale pink to white flowers appear in early to mid summer.
Pairs well with Parrot's beak, Pride of madeira, and Rain lily.
