Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Vino'

Deep, moody wine-colored foliage that intensifies in the sun — 'Vino' is one of those rare coleus varieties that gets better the brighter it gets. Most coleus prefer the shade, but 'Vino' is built for both, shifting from rich burgundy in shadier spots to an even deeper, more dramatic hue under full sun. It's bold, versatile, and endlessly useful in the garden.

Tall and upright with a strong presence, 'Vino' earns its place in combination plantings as the anchor — adding height, depth, and contrast that makes every plant around it pop. Pair it with bright lime green or chartreuse companions like sweet potato vine or coleus 'Wasabi' for maximum contrast, or layer it with soft pinks and creamy whites for a more refined, elegant look. In containers or in the ground, it holds its color and form reliably from spring through frost.

Coleus Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in partial shade to full shade, though many modern varieties handle full sun well. Too much direct sun can bleach the foliage; too little shade can dull the color.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry — coleus wilts fast but bounces back quickly with a good drink.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil. Amend with compost at planting for lush, full growth.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage vigorous, colorful foliage.
• Pinching: Pinch back stem tips regularly to keep plants bushy and full. Remove any flower spikes as soon as they appear — flowering signals the plant to decline, and removing them extends the season significantly.
• Temperature: Loves heat but is frost-sensitive. Plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and bring containers inside before temps drop in fall.
• Hardiness: Grown as an annual in most climates; perennial in zones 10–11.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
