Growing Chocolate Covered Cherry Coleus

‘Chocolate Covered Cherry’ is an open-pollinated coleus prized for its dramatic foliage, compact growth, and rich color contrast. Finely lobed leaves feature rosy centers surrounded by broad mahogany borders and finished with a bright stitching of lime green along the edges, creating an eye-catching display even without flowers.

Surface sow ‘Chocolate Covered Cherry’ seeds and space plants 8 to 12 inches apart. Grow in partial sun to full shade. Germination typically takes 10 to 14 days. Its compact growth habit makes this variety especially well suited to smaller gardens and 4-inch pots.

Around 84 days, plants develop their full ornamental impact, filling out with richly colored foliage that provides dependable interest throughout the growing season.

Colorful, compact, and distinctive, ‘Chocolate Covered Cherry’ is an excellent choice for containers, shaded beds, borders, mixed plantings, and ornamental displays.

Beautiful plants

I got 5 seeds in the plastic vial, started them, took quite awhile to pop up, but all five germinated, and are thriving. I am very happy, and will get some again next year,

Just as pretty as the picture

All of the seeds we planted germinated. Would buy again, but coleus are so easy to proigate, going to have a 5' bed of them in the front yard.

Beautiful

The 5 peleted seeds came in a little plasic vial. 3 of the 4 I planted germinated. They started off slow and I was worried the coloing would not be the same, but they are growing well now and a beautiful vibrant pink/burgundy with lime green edges. I hope to overwinter some cuttings in the house, but if not, I will definitely be purchasing again.
