The Power of Coleus

As a gardener living with shade, I love coleus. The plants might not flower, but the foliage adds color, whether it's bold or subtle. This one is tall, like a column, but it branches out, looking full and healthy. It looks great on my front porch with the hibiscus, red banana, and lavender. I'd recommend this variety, but I lost the tag. (I searched and searched! I bet a squirrel stole it...) The name "fire" or "orange" may have been in it. While the stems are violet, the leaves are a bold bronze with a tinge of green. This may be my new favorite coleus.
