The bold, colorful foliage creates a dramatic display in beds and borders. Coleus can also be used in mixed containers and as an edging plant. It can be grown indoors as a houseplant in a bright room. Group Coleus plants for accents or ground covers. They combine well with Snapdragons, Caladiums, Salvias, Marigolds, Zinnias, and Cockscombs in beds or containers. They grow better than most plants under trees.
