The Coleus ‘Henna’ is an erect and well-branched foliage annual, remarkable for its cut leaves with coppery, chartreuse, and dark purple undersides.
The top of the foliage features a unique blend of golden-green to coppery bronze, while the underside is deep purple, creating a spectacular contrast, especially when the foliage moves in the wind.
It is ideal for flowerbeds, pots, and window boxes, where it adds texture and color throughout the season.
It prefers an exposure of sun to partial shade. Good light intensifies the coppery tones, without excessive scorching sun. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil with regular watering.
