Vino Coleus is a tender shade-loving evergreen perennial primarily grown as an annual for its dramatic foliage. The stunning deep wine colored leaves have a fine chartreuse outline and is an even deeper color to near black with more sun. Vino is an almost never-flowering variety. Grows best in partial sun and moist, loose well-drained soils.
