Coleus blumei (flame nettle)

Coleus blumei (flame nettle) has leaves that are beautifully colored in shades of fiery red, brilliant orange, yellow, bronze, old gold, lime-green, rose pink and deep maroon.  Some varieties leaves with lacy edges.  You would pinch out the tips in order to keep a bushy shape.  You can take soft stem cuttings to transplant so that mother plants can be thrown away when they become too ungainly.
