Quick Overview
Coleus Merlins Magic, Coleus 'Merlins Magic', is a unique new Coleus from Proven Winners. It is extremely compact, has uniform foliage and features a blend of rich purple, green and pink tones on deeply lobed leaves. Coleus plants are so colorful that many people keep them and use them as a house plant. These plants will do best in temperatures above 55 degrees. Flower buds should be pinched off as soon as they develop. If a coleus plant is allowed to seed, it has completed its life cycle and will die. Coleus must have good soil drainage. Poorly drained soils and excessive watering will damage coleus. Plants suffering from "wet feet" will be stunted, leaves will turn a muddy brown, and leaf margins will be scorched. This plant can be a perennial in zones 9-11. In zones 3-8 it is an annual only.
