Make a bold, architectural statement in your shaded garden spaces with the Coleus Kong™ Red. As its name suggests, this variety is famous for its massive, oversized leaves that provide an immediate jungle-like feel to any landscape or large container. The foliage features a rich, mahogany-red center surrounded by a vibrant bright green margin, offering a high-contrast look that brightens up even the darkest corners of the garden.

• Foliage Color: Deep mahogany-red centers with broad, vivid lime-green edges

• Growth Habit: Upright, sturdy, and well-branched with exceptionally large leaves

• Mature Size: Approx. 18–24" tall and 15–18" wide

• Light: Shade to part shade (thrives in full shade; avoid direct afternoon sun)

• Water: Prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil; do not allow to dry out completely

• Use: Dramatic garden borders, large patio containers, "thriller" in mixed planters, or as a vibrant indoor plant
