Latin Name: Plectranthus scutellarioides ‘Terra Nova’Â
The Coleus ‘Terra Nova’ is a sun-tolerant, seed-propagated annual prized for its vibrant, weather-resistant foliage and uniform habit. Growing 14–20 inches (35–50 cm) tall and wide, it’s ideal for landscape massing, containers, and borders.
This award-winning F1 hybrid series features large, serrated leaves in bold hues of burgundy, lime green, and deep orange, with exceptional color retention even in full sun (6+ hours). Unlike older coleus, it resists fading and scorching in intense heat.
Thrives in moist, well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established but frost-sensitive (hardy in zones 10–11). Deer-resistant and low-maintenance.
Perfect for commercial landscapes or patio displays, pair with silver dusty miller, blue ageratum, or white verbena.
