Growing Guide

Coleus ‘Kiwi Fern’ thrives in warm conditions with rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Its colorful foliage performs beautifully in bright, filtered light.

Light: Partial shade to morning sun. Avoid intense afternoon sunlight in especially hot climates, which may scorch the leaves.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Container-grown plants may require more frequent watering during hot weather.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.

Fertilizing: Feed occasionally with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy foliage.

Pruning: Pinch growing tips to encourage bushier growth. Remove flower spikes if you prefer the plant to direct its energy toward its colorful leaves.

Winter Care: Coleus is frost-sensitive. Bring container plants indoors before temperatures drop near freezing and place them in a bright location.

Growing Tip: The foliage is the star of this plant! Regular pinching encourages a fuller display of its uniquely textured leaves.

Uses & Inspiration

Create a Foliage-Focused Container: Plant ‘Kiwi Fern’ in a decorative pot where its rich burgundy coloring and delicate leaf shape can take center stage.

Design a Tropical-Inspired Patio: Combine with ferns and other lush foliage plants for an inviting, layered garden display.
