Parcel received in accordance with the fast delivery, I received a small packet of seeds. A bit disappointed with the contents, there were not 15 seeds. Now we patiently await for it to shoot.

Description

Coleus 'Palisandra' is a magnificent selection with large, velvety, deep purple-black leaves on vigorous plants. Suitable for beds, borders and pots!

Coleus blumei or Solenostemon scutellaroides is a popular herbaceous plant, generally grown as an annual in the flower garden due to its low tolerance to frost. It can also be grown as a perennial indoors. 'Palisandra' is an amazing selection that displays large, deep purple to almost black leaves with a gorgeous velvety texture. Coleus is easy to grow from seed and low maintenance, bringing great colour to the garden from spring until the first frosts. The exceptionally vigorous plants reach 60 cm in height for a spread of 60 cm. They produce small, pinkish flowers from June to October, however they are hardly noticeable against the intensely coloured foliage.

This robust plant is ideal as a focal point in flower beds and borders. The colouring of its foliage varies according to the intensity of the sunlight. Equally happy in a container or in the open ground, inside or outside, Coleus is wonderfully versatile. It thrives in light, rich soil in full sun or part shade.
