Coleus are one of the easiest summer plants to grow. Water well to establish, and once settled they are somewhat drought tolerant and grow in most soils. As the leaves are so brightly coloured the sun can scorch them, so it is best to grow in a shaded area. They will wilt if they get too dry, but once watered will pick back up again quickly. If flower spikes appear, remove them of the foliage will become scruffy.
