| Making coleus Better and Brighter | Coleus is a versatile annual that has been in the industry for a long time and is valued by many consumers for its brightly colored foliage, rapid growth rate and superior performance in landscapes and containers. Coleus hybrids were first introduced in England in 1862. Coleus quickly became popular, and plant breeders began a race to breed new coleus hybrids, with main developments centering on bright colors, unique leaf shapes and distinctive plant forms. After the initial fever subsided, coleus evolved into a seed-propagated bedding plant with low vigor and a relatively narrow range of foliage colors. In the last decade, coleus has been rejuvenated with the introduction of a large number of interesting vegetatively propagated varieties that have improved performance in containers and the landscape. |
