WHAT VARIETY AM I GETTING? You're getting Rainbow Mix Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides), a colorful heirloom variety prized for its vibrant foliage in shades of red, burgundy, pink, green, yellow, and bronze. These ornamental plants add bold color and texture to containers, borders, and shade gardens throughout the growing season. WHAT MAKES RAINBOW MIX COLEUS UNIQUE? Rainbow Mix Coleus is grown for its stunning multicolored foliage rather than its flowers. Its richly patterned leaves create eye-catching displays in garden beds, patio containers, hanging baskets, and indoor plant collections. IS IT EASY TO GROW? Yes! Rainbow Mix Coleus is beginner friendly and grows well in partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost or sow outdoors after temperatures remain consistently warm. Seeds typically germinate within 10 to 21 days under ideal conditions. HOW DO I PLANT THE SEEDS? Sow Rainbow Mix Coleus seeds on the soil surface or lightly press them into the growing medium, as they need light to germinate. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart to encourage healthy growth and allow their colorful foliage to fully develop. HOW DO I CARE FOR THE PLANTS? Rainbow Mix Coleus thrives with regular watering and consistently moist soil. Pinch back the growing tips to encourage fuller, bushier plants, and remove flower spikes if you want the plant to direct more energy into producing vibrant foliage. WHERE DOES RAINBOW MIX COLEUS GROW BEST? Rainbow Mix Coleus performs well in USDA Hardiness Zones 10 through 11 as a perennial and is commonly grown as an annual in cooler climates. It thrives in containers, borders, shade gardens, porch planters, and indoor spaces with bright, indirect light. WHAT COMES IN THE PACKAGE? You'll receive approximately 800 heirloom, non-GMO, open-pollinated Rainbow Mix Coleus seeds (400 seeds per packet, 2 packets total), complete with planting instructions to help you grow colorful foliage plants for your home or garden.
