Fishnet Stockings Coleus

Fishnet Stockings is an upright foliage coleus with lime-green leaves marked by dark purple to burgundy veining. Proven Winners lists a mature height of 24–36 inches and spread of 12–16 inches; the existing height point falls within that range, while the current width point exceeds the published spread and is left unresolved. ## Garden Use Use Fishnet Stockings in a container or shaded planting where the contrasting vein pattern can be seen. Its upright form gives height and detail among lower or broader foliage plants. Proven Winners recommends part shade to shade and notes heat tolerance. ## Growing Conditions Provide part shade to shade and moist, well-drained soil. NC State Extension describes rich, loose, moist soil as broad coleus care guidance. Keep container soil evenly moist in warm weather while allowing excess water to drain. ## Maintenance Pinch tips to encourage branching and remove flowering stalks when you want the foliage to remain the focus. Check the plant regularly for dry soil in hot weather.
