  • Boldly patterned, multi-coloured foliage makes a great companion to our other “chocolate” coleus: Chocolate Mint and Dark Chocolate. 
  • Non-fading colour pattern: rose centre on each leaf is surrounded by deep mahogany and edged with green. 
  • Late flowering and dwarf size are adaptable to pack and pot programs. 
  • Performs well in planters and small gardens in sun and shade.
