Notes
'Wicked Witch' coleus (Coleus scutellarioides 'Wicked Witch') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. 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 spreads 12 to 36 inches, so give it room to fill out.
Pairs well with Victoria Blue salvia, Black Magic taro, Gallery Monet dahlia, and Black-eyed Susan.
