Trailing Rose Coleus is a tender shade-loving evergreen perennial with a trailing habit that is treated as an annual primarily for its dramatic foliage. The serrated foliage are deep rosy burgundy with fine bright green margins and may develop a vivid violet-rose flame in the center. Its late summer bloom is non showy and is often removed to maintain foliage display. Best color in part sun and moist, loose well-drained soils. Tolerates full sun.
