Coleus plants (Solenostemon scutellarioides) are popular for their vibrant, colorful foliage, making them a favorite in California gardens, especially during the warmer months. Coleus thrives in California’s sunny, warm climate, but prefers some shade during the hottest part of the day to protect its delicate leaves from sunburn. With a wide range of colors, including reds, purples, pinks, greens, and yellows, coleus adds a burst of color to garden beds, containers, and hanging baskets. Coleus can be grown annually in California but can be brought indoors during cooler months. These plants are easy to care for, requiring regular watering, and they are also known for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.
