Palette sheet – Rainbow Mix
Solenostemon scutellarioides (formerly Coleus )
About 30 plants

A colorful plant grown primarily for its decorative leaves in a palette of red, pink, lime green, purple and variegated shades. Rainbow Mix is ​​a varietal blend that provides great variation in leaf color and patterning – each plant is unique!

Palette leaves thrive just as well outdoors in a flowerbed or pot as indoors as an ornamental plant. By pinching off the flowers, the leaves retain their color longer. The plants become bushier when topping , and you can easily take cuttings to overwinter the plant indoors.
