Patio plant of the month

FlameThrower ‘Salsa Verde’ Coleus

The bright lime-green leaves of this coleus make it the perfect choice as an accent plant in mixed containers. It thrives in the heat, growing in sun or shade and fills out to 46cm tall and wide. In containers it needs daily watering in summer and feeding once a month with a liquid fertiliser such as Margaret Roberts Organic Supercharger. Pinch off any flower spikes that appear. Good container companions are impatiens and begonias.
