Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Stained Glassworks Velvet'
Deep, velvety foliage with a vivid chartreuse midrib and rich burgundy margins — 'Stained Glassworks Velvet' lives up to its name in every way. Each leaf looks like it was lifted straight from an art glass window, layering warm and cool tones in a combination that feels both bold and refined. The luxurious, almost touchable texture adds another dimension that makes this coleus as interesting up close as it is from across the garden.
Whether you're filling a shady border, dressing up a patio container, or adding depth to a mixed planting, 'Stained Glassworks Velvet' delivers rich, sophisticated color from spring through fall without a single bloom needed. Pair it with golden creeping Jenny or lime green sweet potato vine to amplify the chartreuse, or plant it alongside deep purple Persian shield for a moody, dramatic combination that turns heads all season long.

Coleus Care Tips
- Light: Thrives in partial shade to full shade, though many modern varieties handle full sun well. Too much direct sun can bleach the foliage; too little shade can dull the color.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry — coleus wilts fast but bounces back quickly with a good drink.
- Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil. Amend with compost at planting for lush, full growth.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage vigorous, colorful foliage.
- Pinching: Pinch back stem tips regularly to keep plants bushy and full. Remove any flower spikes as soon as they appear — flowering signals the plant to decline, and removing them extends the season significantly.
- Temperature: Loves heat but is frost-sensitive. Plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and bring containers inside before temps drop in fall.
- Hardiness: Grown as an annual in most climates; perennial in zones 10–11.
