Iguazu Coleus is a tender shade-loving evergreen perennial primarily grown as an annual for its tidy trailing habit and dramatic foliage. The smaller but vivid burgundy leaves have a bright rose magenta flame and a chartreuse outline. The late spring flowers are often removed to promote foliage growth. Grows best in partial sun and moist, loose well-drained soils.
