Coleus seeds — foliage in every colour

Coleus is grown not for flowers but for its astonishing leaves — velvety foliage splashed, veined and edged in lime, burgundy, pink, bronze and near-black, bringing season-long colour to shade. It sits among our ornamental flower seed range, listed botanically as Coleus blumei. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Few plants light up a shady spot like coleus — the calendar shows when to sow.

Colour for shade and containers

Happy in part shade where many flowers sulk, coleus is a star foliage plant for containers and shady beds, and pairs beautifully with our ornamental flowers for bold leaf-and-bloom combinations. For its botany, see Coleus blumei.

Growing coleus from seed

Sow under cover in spring, pressing the fine seed onto the surface as it needs light to germinate, and keep it warm. Plant out after the last frost into rich, moist soil in part shade, and pinch out the tips regularly to keep plants bushy — remove any flower spikes to focus energy on the leaves.

Planning a foliage or shade scheme? Here's where to look next.
