Coleus TERRA NOVA 'Allspice'

Allspice is a TERRA NOVA® coleus selected for its narrow khaki leaves with dark maroon centers and vigorous, spreading growth. Its self-branching habit suits hanging baskets, mixed containers, and shaded ground-cover plantings. ## Form and color The [TERRA NOVA® cultivar profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coleus-terra-nova-allspice/) lists Allspice at about 16 inches tall and 30 inches wide. It describes the narrow khaki leaves and maroon centers, and records USDA zones 10–11. The grower’s profile identifies the selection as an annual Coleus scutellarioides in the TERRA NOVA® Collection, with a mounding and spreading habit. ## Placement Use part shade to full shade and well-drained soil with moderate organic matter. The breeder lists average garden water and highlights hanging baskets, ground covers, and large mixed containers. Allow room for the plant to spread, or let its stems trail over a container edge. ## Maintenance Allspice branches on its own, so routine pinching is not required. Water when the soil begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain; avoid leaving the roots in standing water. Remove damaged foliage as needed and trim stems to keep the plant within its space.
