Cooper Coral Coleus

Cooper Coral Coleus 🌿 — Scientific name: Plectranthus scutellarioides ‘Cooper Coral’ (Lamiaceae). This vibrant cultivar of the popular Coleus family originates from tropical Asia, renowned for its striking coral-pink and copper-red foliage edged with soft green tones. Its heart-shaped leaves feature a velvety texture and intricate color gradients that shift under changing light, making it a showstopper in both indoor and shaded outdoor displays.
FLOWER DETAILS
Though mainly grown for its foliage, this Coleus produces tall spikes of small lavender to pale blue flowers that rise above the leaves in late summer. While charming, many growers pinch these blooms to maintain dense, colorful foliage throughout the season.
