Plant Spotlight: Coleus ✨
Coleus is one of the easiest ways to add bold color and texture to your landscape. Loved for its vibrant foliage in shades of deep burgundy, lime green, pink, red, and orange, this fast-growing plant thrives in Louisiana’s warm, humid climate.
Whether planted in flower beds, borders, pots, or hanging baskets, coleus brings season-long color with very little maintenance. Many newer varieties can handle both sun and shade, making them a versatile favorite for adding contrast and dimension to any outdoor space.
In Louisiana landscapes, coleus shines from spring through fall and pairs beautifully with ferns, caladiums, begonias, and tropical plants.
