Description
Coleus Verpiss-Dich, also known as 'Cat scared', is a cultivar appreciated for its vibrant and colorful foliage rather than its flowers, which are generally inconspicuous. It is ideal for adding visual interest to shaded areas of the garden or in containers.
This tender annual plant flourishes best in partial shade to shade and requires moderate attention to maintain the intensity of its leaf colours. It is not known to be toxic and is often used as a pet-safe decorative plant.
