Ruffles Bordeaux Coleus is an herbaceous evergreen annual bedding
plant with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse
texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer
foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance annual bedding plant. The flowers of this plant may actually detract
from its ornamental features, so they can be removed as they appear. Deer don't particularly care for this
plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Ruffles Bordeaux Coleus is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Container Planting
- General Garden Use
- Border Edging
- Mass Planting
- Hanging Baskets
Plant Characteristics:
Ruffles Bordeaux Coleus will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches.
Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our
climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year.
This annual bedding plant performs well in both full sun and full shade. It requires an evenly moist
well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but
grows best in rich soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city
environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve
soil moisture. This plant can be propagated by cuttings.
