The Coleus ‘Marble Mania’ is an upright and well-branched foliage annual, remarkable for its large leaves mottled with lime green, cream, and rosy burgundy.
The pattern varies from leaf to leaf, creating a very decorative mosaic effect in flowerbeds, pots, and planters. Its colorful foliage remains attractive all season, even without flowering.
It prefers sun to partial shade. Good light intensifies the contrasts, while avoiding excessive scorching sun. It appreciates rich, well-drained soil with regular watering.
