Black Dragon Coleus is one of the most striking of coleus, with burgundy black leaves and lime green markings. Looks amazing when mixed with summer bedding plants or just on its own in a nice big pot in the garden or even as a houseplant. not hardy

Coleus is also called the painted nettle or flame nettle, as the shape of the leaves resembles that of a nettle. They grow well in full sun and part shade. moist but well-drained soils. if they  get too wet, they rot

Coleus should not be planted outside till the risk of frost has passed

From April, Garden-ready plants will be available at the nursery or shows. not mail order.
