Big Blonde Coleus is a tender shade-loving evergreen perennial primarily grown for its dramatic bright golden foliage with scalloped edges and a thin burgundy central vein and stems. Its non-showy bloom is often removed to maintain foliage display. Grows best in partial sun and moist, loose well-drained soils. Annual if grown outdoors out of the 10-11 zones.
