Coleus is a popular ornamental plant with vibrant and colorful foliage. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia. The plant is commonly grown as an annual in temperate regions, but it can also be grown as a perennial in warmer climates.

Coleus plants have unique and striking foliage in a wide range of colors and patterns. The leaves can be green, yellow, red, purple, or a combination of these colors, often with intricate patterns and markings. The plant grows up to 3 feet tall and has a bushy, upright habit.

Coleus plants are easy to grow and care for, making them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.
