This is a newer cultivar of Coleus that has narrow, jagged leaves of lemon yellow with a red splash down the center of the leaves. It is an upright, compact form, usually growing to about 16 to 24 inches. It is one of those sun-tolerant cultivars and it can be grown in light full shade, though it won't be as bright as when it receives some direct sun. It is usually sold in separate cup-like pots.
