Kingswood Torch, also known as Flame Nettle or Painted Nettle, is an ornamental member of the Mint family native to tropical Asia and northern Australia. This Coleus offers scalloped magenta and burgundy leaves edged in lime green with a mounding habit of 24-36" tall and 12-24" wide. Evergreen in zone 10-11, this plant is a fast-growing, low-maintenance summer annual for cold climates in mixed containers or landscape borders. This plant isn't cold-hardy but can overwinter indoors. Kingswood Torch flourishes in full or partial shade with minimal water, bringing striking color contrast and texture to the tropical or modern landscape.

Customers will love the attractive contrast and texture Coleus's magenta, burgundy, and lime scalloped foliage offers. This plant is low-maintenance, requiring little more than regular water and full to partial shade to flourish until cold temperatures set in. While Coleus is evergreen in zone 10-11, it can overwinter indoors or grow as a houseplant in bright indirect light.
