Our plant of the month is the Coleus. A member of the Lamiaceae family, this plant will grow vigorously in zone 4. The leaves of the Coleus are olive with splashes of vibrant scarlet and chocolate. The Coleus is a partial shade plant with tropical aspects and makes a wonderful border plant. Sow seeds in early spring to create a beautiful tri-colored pattern throughout your garden. Cheers
