This coleus is one of the less garish varieties - it's still quite vivid though. Whilst it can be a perennial, unless you've got a heated greeenhouse or are prepared to keep it indoors over winter, it's best treated as an annual foliage plant.
It does really well in a pot provided it's kept moist and will trail a little if confined to a deep but narrow diameter one.
This group of plants prefer sunnyish sites and moist well-drained soil.
If you buy one early in the season, its worth taking cuttings to increase your plants for a more spectacular display.
