Ideal for a bright windowsill or as a leafy display in the conservatory, Coleus are often found in the garden but these vibrant painted nettles make great house plants too.

Stand outside on the patio during the summer months. Height and spread: 45cm (18"). Please note: some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you. Sow Coleus seed at any time of the year at 21-24°C (70-75°F) on the surface of a good quality seed compost and gently firm down. Keep soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light. Use a heated propagator or seal in a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-20 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 8cm (3"), and later into 15cm (6"
