Common Questions
Will coleus come back each year?
Coleus is a tender perennial hardy only in U.S southernmost zones 10 and 11. In zones 7 and higher this annual can reseed but you'll have to allow it to flower.
How much do coleus plants spread?
Height and spread depend on variety. Cultivars can grow from 6 to 36 inches tall and wide. Taller plants with large leaves tend to stay more upright while smaller, dwarf varieties feature a wider growth pattern.
How long will my coleus plant live?
Coleus is most often grown as an annual and replanted every spring. Some varieties can be grown in pots and overwintered indoors for three to five years with adequate care.
Will a coleus plant be safe for my dog?
Coleus can make dogs, cats and horses ill if they eat it. Choose a different, non-toxic plant if your pet tends to sample your garden.
My leaves are wilting why?
This is generally caused by too much direct sunlight. Keep your plants watered well for the soil to be moist but not waterlogged.
