Coleus - Alabama Sunset (Coleus Scutellarioides)

Alabama Sunset is the epitome of the “classic coleus” with its wide oval, pointed leaves and upright form. Truly a workhorse in your garden display, it is dependable with its sturdy structure and bushy growth habit, but what really sets it apart is the color. 

New growth is a cheery yellow-gold color accentuating the tip of each branch. As the leaves mature they become speckled and give an impression of orange until the solid pink-red color moves from the tip of the leaf inward and eventually predominates. In high light, that overall color might be a deep pink to bright rosy-red. With less light, you might find the leaves to be a paler pink with an orange or copper tone coming though, and they might adopt a dappled appearance. You might find all of these colors and patterns at once on the same branch, depending on how much light reaches the lower leaves. Alabama Sunset is truly the chameleon of coleus!
