Add Colourful Drama to Your Garden with Coleus 'Wizard Mix'

Coleus scutellarioides 'Wizard Mix' is celebrated for its spectacular foliage—each plant displays a magical blend of coral, orange, burgundy, lime green, and more. Unlike many bedding plants that rely on flowers, this annual shines through its velvety, serrated leaves that create vibrant displays from late spring through autumn.

• Growth Habit: Compact and bushy, typically reaching 20–30cm in height—ideal for containers, beds, borders, or as a striking indoor accent.
• Seasonal Interest: Provides non-stop colour from planting until the first frosts with minimal flowering to keep the focus on foliage.
• Planting Location: Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight—perfect for livening up shaded patios or north-facing gardens where other plants struggle.

Growing Guide: Simple Care for Lasting Impact

• Planting Time: Plant outdoors after the last frost (typically late May–June in the UK) for best establishment.
• Soil Requirements: Grows well in fertile, moist but well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0).
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; avoid letting the compost dry out completely.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth to encourage lush foliage.
• Pests & Diseases: Generally trouble-free but monitor for aphids and slugs; remove any faded leaves to keep plants healthy.

Clever Uses & Companion Planting

• Borders & Beds: Combine with ferns, hostas or impatiens for layered shade planting schemes.
• Pots & Containers: Pair with trailing lobelia or begonias for eye-catching patio displays.
