Painted Nettle "Colocha Scarlet"
Flame nettle "Colocha Scarlet" - Coleus blumei.
Fantastic foliage. Leaves do not fade in the sun!
Plant height 40-50 cm.
A popular decorative foliage plant, which is used with equal success as a houseplant and as a garden plant.
Growing it from seeds is a great pleasure, since even beginners in floriculture can do it well.
The incredibly bright colors, velvety texture and original shape of the leaves are perceived with constant admiration.
The leaves do not fade in the sun, and their rich color remains throughout the entire season.
Fast-growing “nettle” looks good in container compositions with other summer plants, in groups, in flower beds, in borders and in arrays on ridges.
For maximum decorative value, coleus needs bright light, protection from winds, and light, nutritious soil. To prevent the plant from wasting energy on flowering, remove the flower shoots immediately after they appear.
Sowing seeds for seedlings in March: sow superficially, without embedding, under glass. Shoots appear in 10-12 days. With the appearance of a pattern on the leaves, the seedlings dive into separate pots. When the plants reach a height of 7-8 cm, formative pinching is carried out. Planting seedlings in the ground - in early June.
An ideal plant for beginners: unpretentious, fast growing, easy to propagate.
