About This Plant

Coleus Ruby Slipper is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.

An ornamental annual prized for season-long flowering and color in containers, beds, and borders. Plant after last frost; remove after fall frost.

Full sun to part shade suits this plant. Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy USDA Zone annual. Frost-tender; treat as a single-season plant. Many self-sow. Heat-tolerance and bloom color depend on cultivar.
