Pineapple Beauty, also known as Flame Nettle or Painted Nettle, is an ornamental member of the Mint family native to tropical Asia and northern Australia. This variety offers serrated lime-yellow leaves with maroon centers on an upright habit of 12-18" tall and 12-15" wide. Evergreen in zone 10, this plant typically grows as a low-maintenance summer annual for mixed containers or landscape borders. While it isn't cold-hardy, Coleus can overwinter indoors or grow as a houseplant. Pineapple Beauty flourishes in full sun or partial shade with minimal water, bringing striking texture and color to the tropical or modern landscape.
Sell Pineapple Beauty to customers looking for unique foliage to add to a mixed container, landscape border, or houseplant collection. Customers will love the attractive contrast and texture Coleus's lime-yellow with maroon center serrated 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. This variety has an upright habit well-suited for containers and landscape borders. Create an inviting modern landscape or mixed patio container by pairing this plant with Begonia, Calibrachoa, Fuchsia, Impatiens, Ipomoea, and Lantana.
