Latin Name: Plectranthus scutellarioides ‘Fancy Feathers’Â
The Coleus ‘Fancy Feathers’ is a striking, feather-leaved annual prized for its deeply cut foliage and bold color contrasts. Growing 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) tall, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and tropical-themed gardens.
This unique cultivar features elongated, serrated leaves with intricate lobes resembling bird feathers, in vibrant shades of burgundy, magenta, and lime green. The textured foliage adds movement and drama, even without flowers.
Thrives in partial shade (tolerates morning sun) and moist, well-draining soil. Heat-tolerant but frost-sensitive (hardy in zones 10–11). Deer-resistant and low-maintenance.
Perfect for adding vertical interest, pair with caladiums, ferns, or impatiens.
