Wizard Mix Coleus is a selection of tender shade-loving evergreen perennials treated as annuals primarily for their dramatic foliage. The ruffled foliage with pointed tips have various vibrant colors and markings. Best color in part sun and moist, loose well-drained soils. Tolerates full sun. The Wizard series resists flowering, heat and humid tolerant, and gains their full color early.
The Wizard mix is a random selection from the whole Wizard series, including: Rose, Jade, Golden, Mosaic, Coral Sunrise, Sunset, Velvet Red, and Scarlet.
