Coleus TERRA NOVA® ‘Marrakesh’
|
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
This plant should be booked 6 months in advance for best availability. Ideal shipping window for Coleus is January thru May. |
Impeccable habit and unusually shaped leaves make this another distinctive choice for a multi-season foliage annual. This coleus is self-branching and never in need of a pinch. 'Marrakesh' is exotic and stays neat all season long. Amber, copper, lime, and dark crimson complement so many colors in a container or garden. Saffron, paprika, and a myriad of old world spices whirl together on this most unique plant. Bold enough to stand alone, but plays well with others. Our original plant only had one short flower spike in a full year!
