The prettiest and neatest coleus to come along in quite a while, ‘Chocolate Mint’ offers rich brown to burgundy-maroon foliage with a trim mint-green scallop and matching reverse. Very easy to start from seed, it grows quickly into a well-branched, bushy little plant just ideal for containers indoors or out as well as the partly to fully shaded annual bed.
These leaves are very uniform, creating a formal look that suits porch steps and patterned beds perfectly. You will love watching the new seedlings emerge, sporting their permanent coloring from the time they are no bigger than a fingernail. Pinch the plant once or twice as it grows to encourage more branching, then sit back and enjoy these flowers from spring through fall, or year-round indoors. It reaches 12 to 14 inches high and about 10 to 12 inches wide, a good size for containers or the middle of the annual border. Content even in full shade, it is quite heat tolerant outdoors.
