Coleus VULCAN

Solenostemon scutellarioides Vulcan

Eye-popping red Coleus with pink veining is more intense in lower light. Holds the red in the “high light” of the sun and features an interesting leaf shape. Perfect for sun or shade.

Caring for your Coleus Vulcan

  • 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.
