Coleus 'Sedona': Bronzy Pink-Orange Foliage for Shade Containers

'Sedona' Coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Sedona') boasts leaves in shades of pink and orange, giving a bronzy overall appearance. This cultivar reaches 1–3 feet tall and wide, preferring part to full shade with medium moisture. It may be overwintered indoors where not hardy. Provide humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter in a sheltered location. Pinch young shoots for bushiness; remove flowers to retain compactness.

Growing Conditions

Grow in part to full shade with medium moisture. Water freely in dry weather. Propagate by surface-sowing seed at 72–75°F in early spring, or root softwood cuttings from late spring to autumn. Watch for mealybugs, scale, whiteflies under glass.
