We love coleus for its wide array of colors and textures, making it a wonderful accent plant for summer gardens, container planters, and hanging baskets. 'Ruby Slipper' coleus has a velvety texture and deep red color that adds a spot of elegance and richness to the garden, be it in sun or shade. This variety tops out around 24 inches and about half as wide, making a beautiful upright mound of color. Pinch out the tips of younger plants if a shorter, bushier profile is desired.
