Caring for your Coleus Limewire
- Perfect for sun or shade
- Prefers well-draining soil, watered regularly to keep the soil moist
- Careful to not provide too much fertilizer (cut recommend rate of fertilizer in half or decrease frequency) so that you do not promote too much growth – this will reduce the brilliant colors of the Coleus
- If you plant into a larger container, make sure it is sturdy and will not tip over in the wind. The larger the container, the larger the Coleus will grow until it reaches mature height.
