Coleus Chocolate Mint Mostly grown as annuals, coleus are low-maintenance plants with attractive foliage. What makes coleus so popular is its versatility: the plants are easy to grow, stay vibrant in both sun and shade, and tolerate almost any soil type. New colors and patterns of coleus are introduced regularly including dwarf varieties, trailing types, and big-leaf, upright plants that grow to 3 1/2 feet tall.
