Coleus Wizard Velvet Red Seeds – Deep Red Foliage for Shade Gardens

Coleus Wizard Velvet Red Seeds produce stunning foliage plants known for their deep red, velvety leaves and compact, uniform growth. This variety is especially popular for shade gardens, container gardening, balcony displays, and indoor décor due to its strong color intensity and easy growth habit.

Unlike flowering plants, coleus is grown mainly for its decorative leaves. The Wizard series is known for reliable performance, uniform plant shape, and excellent color stability even in warm climates. These plants create vibrant contrast when paired with green or light-colored foliage in mixed plantings.

Coleus grows best in partial shade to full shade but can tolerate morning sunlight. It performs well in pots, hanging baskets, garden borders, and landscaping beds.
