There is no disguising the fact that coleus are astounding plants for adding bright foliage and interest in often trickier, shadier spots in the garden. With leaves in vivid shades of yellow, green, red, and purple, they are sure-fire dramatic plants.
However, many gardeners are unfortunately wasteful when growing coleus. As frost-sensitive tropical plants, they are often treated as annuals and disposed of once killed by cold winter temperatures. It needn't be this way, though, as there are ways of overwintering coleus so they can be enjoyed year after year.
