Published mature-size estimates differ: Passion Jardins lists about 45 cm tall and 40 cm wide, while King’s Garden Center lists 12–24 inches tall and 9–12 inches wide. Allow space based on the growth of the plant in your conditions.

Passion Jardins lists sun to partial shade, while general coleus care guidance notes that cultivar light needs vary. Plants in full sun and containers dry more quickly than shaded plants in garden beds.

Container plants need more frequent checks and free drainage. Remove flower stalks when you want the plant to direct more of its display toward leafy growth, and pinch stems to encourage a fuller outline.
