Where are you ...?


Botanical name: Coleus blumei
This attractive foliage plant is great for containers and underplanting. Most annuals are grown for the color their flowers provide. Instead of colorful flowers, coleus offers incredibly colorful foliage in a variety of interesting shapes and sizes. Although coleus will usually survive in sun, the color of the leaves is enhanced in the shade. Small, insignificant flowers will appear late summer. This photograph was taken on 15th December, 2007 in Mysore.
