Striking foliage of ‘Alabama Sunset’

‘Alabama Sunset’ is one coleus that gets a lot of positive feedback, mainly because of the foliage color. It’s easy to see why—this contrast of dusty red and lime green is striking to say the least. Planted en masse across the landscape it truly gives the impression of a panoramic sunset that can be enjoyed at any time of day.

This coleus grows beautifully—by the end of summer expect to see a nice large shrub with a neat, tidy appearance, whether it’s been tended to or not. ‘Alabama Sunset’ fills large planters quickly too, plus as part of our sun coleus line it performs well in sun or shade and can handle the heat and humidity. For such a beautiful plant it’s decidedly unfussy. 

We like to mix ‘Alabama Sunset’ with other chartreuse foliage, like  ‘Wasabi’ or ‘Electric Lime’ coleus, and some ‘Lemon’ licorice vine as a spiller. It also combines easily with many of our other multi-colored coleus selections.

Look for this variety in the 4.5 and 8-inch pot sizes. For our full line of coleus please check the Availability section of our web site.
