Coleus Premium Sun Ruby Heart

Coleus Premium Sun Ruby Heart Seeds

Coleus Premium Sun Ruby Heart is a modern seed-grown coleus selected for its strong sun tolerance and vivid ornamental foliage. The leaves display a rich ruby red,  center surrounded by bright green edges, heart shaped leaves, creating a bold contrast suitable for both formal and mixed plantings.
