Description

A trio of plants with dense colourful foliage ready to impress, whether planted alongside one-another, or dotted throughout the garden.

Bring these shaded delights to your garden, including the green edged, scarlet leaves of 'Kong Scarlet', the patterned leaves of light pink to burgundy centred 'Kong Rose', and finally 'Kong Green Halo' with creamy centred leaves with soft green edges.

Grow these summer foliage delights out on the patio or balcony in your favourite pot, use them to fill hanging baskets, or add impressive patterns to bedding schemes.

Coleus are ideal for dressing up both the inside and outside of the home, as a remarkable houseplant during the colder months of autumn and winter, before thriving when planted outside for spring and summer.

Supplied as 12 plug plants, including four of each named variety, ready to be grown on, before planting out.

Top Tips

Pinch regularly to help Coleus to thrive and produce a dense carpet of colour.

Care Information

Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour. If you can�t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they�ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don�t like to be left in standing water.
Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
Remove any emerging flower spikes to retain a bushy habit on each plant.
When growing in pots, be sure to move the plants inside, such as the greenhouse or conservatory, for the autumn and winter months.
