Coleus 'Talavera Moondust'

Plectranthus scutellarioides 'Talavera Moondust'

Coleus Talavera™ 'Moondust' is a vibrant foliage plant that delivers a fiery mix of deep red leaves splashed with glowing yellow speckles. Its richly colored, scalloped leaves bring bold contrast and texture to both sunny and shady spots.

A versatile addition to garden beds, containers, and mixed planters, this coleus stays compact and full, offering nonstop color with minimal maintenance. Talavera™ Moondust is also a late-flowering variety, meaning you’ll enjoy tidy foliage without early blooms disrupting the display. Perfect for adding drama to your shade garden or brightening up sunny patios.

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.
