Coleus ‘Peter Wonder’ — Colorful Shade Coleus

Description

Coleus ‘Peter Wonder’ has bold leaves in green, pink, cream, and red. The jagged pattern gives each plant a bright, lively look.

Use it in shaded beds, patio pots, and mixed containers. Regular trimming helps keep the plant full and compact.

Light

Give it bright shade or gentle morning sun. Strong afternoon sun can scorch the leaves. For another bold coleus, see Coleus ‘Apocalypse’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well. Water when the top starts to dry. Do not let the roots sit in standing water. Coleus ‘Alabama Sunset’ grows well with similar care.

Trim and Feed

Pinch the stem tips to help the plant branch. Remove flower spikes if you want to keep the focus on foliage. Feed lightly during active growth.

Container Ideas

Pair ‘Peter Wonder’ with a shade plant that has broad leaves, such as Begonia ‘Granada’, for strong color contrast.
