What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Add bold, long-lasting color to your garden or home with Rainbow Mix Coleus Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Plectranthus scutellarioides, often called “painted leaves,” is prized for its striking foliage in a wide range of vibrant colors and patterns. This fast-growing ornamental thrives in both sun and shade, making it an excellent choice for beginner gardeners, container plantings, shade gardens, and indoor houseplants. While coleus is a tender tropical perennial, it is commonly grown as an annual in regions with frost.

Spectacular, Multi-Colored Foliage:

  • Produces bold, variegated leaves in shades of green, yellow, pink, red, maroon, purple, and more
  • Each plant displays unique color combinations
  • Adds instant visual impact to garden beds, borders, and containers
  • Excellent for brightening shaded areas
  • Performs well in both sun and partial shade

Easy-Growing and Highly Versatile:

  • Fast-growing and beginner-friendly
  • Suitable for in-ground planting, patio containers, and hanging baskets
  • Grows well indoors as a decorative houseplant
  • Evergreen perennial in frost-free climates
  • Commonly grown as an annual in colder regions

Ornamental Blooms and Pollinator Support:

  • Produces small blue to white flowers in late summer or early fall
  • Lightly fragrant blooms add seasonal interest
  • Flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators
  • Foliage remains the main ornamental feature throughout the season

Why Customers Love Rainbow Mix Coleus:

  • Exceptional leaf color variety from a single seed mix
  • Thrives in a wide range of light conditions
  • Ideal for both indoor and outdoor growing
  • Low-maintenance with dramatic visual appeal
  • Perfect for containers, shade gardens, and beginner gardeners

How to Use / How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors or sow directly after the danger of frost has passed. Keep soil evenly moist during germination. Plant in well-drained soil and provide regular watering for best foliage color. Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier plants. In cold climates, bring plants indoors before frost to enjoy as houseplants.
