Coleus 'Lava Rose' - 4 inch

Seasoned gardeners are used to seeing coleus plants as upright mounds of spectacular color and texture, so they're somewhat surprised when they come across trailing coleus varieties such as 'Lava Rose.' Mounding only six to ten inches tall, it can spread 18 to 24 inches, forming a cascading carpet of varying shades of red and moss green. Plant this coleus on the edge of hanging baskets or container planters destined for a shadier spot in the garden, and pair with tuberous begonias or perennial grasses for pops of color and contrasting textures. Want to have a similar look for sunnier locations? Pair 'Lava Rose' with Sunpatiens or solar begonias and acorus - they can all take the heat.
