Coleus 'Kong Rose'

'Kong Rose' coleus resembles many of the "regular" coleuses in coloring with a symmetrical pattern of dark red, pink, and green, but the sheer size of the leaves puts it in a class of its own. This specimen will flaunt its stuff in the shadiest of gardens, growing into an attractive upright mound, about 20 inches tall and a bit narrower in width. 'Kong Rose' will be the envy of gardeners with all-day sun because this variety does best in shade conditions, or at most, all-day filtered sun. Determined gardeners can grow 'Kong Rose' coleus in pots that can be brought indoors for the winter, but it will need a well-lighted room, preferably with a bit of direct morning light. One caveat: pets should NOT chew on coleuses.
