Coleus Seeds
Indo American Hybrid Seeds
Coleus is an annual or perennial plant which is broadly classified as a herb or a shrub but can also be a succulent sometimes. Most species are cultivated as ornamental plants; they are known to be garden favourites for their brightly colored foliage. However, some varieties that produce root tubers, are cultivated for food.
