Comments:
Have the look and colors found in coleus, but is a stronger grower and can live over winter in years when there are no hard freezes in an area. Are perennials, but treated as annuals in most of the USA. They have a mounding form and love the heat and lots of sunlight. They are at home in a border or treated as a bedding plant.
