Coleus True

About this plant

The 'Kong Lime Sprite' Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides 'Kong Lime Sprite Portfolio') is a superstar of the shade, offering exceptionally large and brightly colored leaves that instantly brighten any dimly lit area. Part of the renowned Kong series, this cultivar is celebrated for its vigorous growth and impressive stature, creating a lush, tropical feel. Its striking lime green foliage, often with subtle darker veins, makes it an excellent focal point or a refreshing contrast against other shade-loving plants. Perfect for containers, hanging baskets, or mass plantings in garden beds, 'Kong Lime Sprite' thrives in warmth and humidity. Beyond its beauty, this Coleus is incredibly low-maintenance, requiring only consistent moisture and occasional feeding to maintain its vibrant display throughout the growing season. While primarily grown for its foliage, pinching back any developing flower spikes will encourage a bushier habit and prolong its leafy splendor.

Care & maintenance

Provide well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Pinch back flower stalks to encourage bushier growth. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer for optimal performance. Protect from frost as it is an annual.
