Coleus scutellarioides, commonly known as coleus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae (the mint or deadnettle family), native to Southeast Asia through to Australia. It is a bushy, woody-based evergreen perennial, widely grown for the highly decorative variegated leaves found in cultivated varieties. Another common name is painted nettle, reflecting its relationship to deadnettles (Lamiumspecies), which are in the same family. - Wikipedia

Coleus scutellarioides is a short-lived plant, cultivated worldwide. The inflorescence is borne on the end of a stem and, like the leaves, is very variable in size. The leaves are variegated, and may include one or more shades of green, white, cream, yellow, pink, red, maroon and dark purple. Patterns of the leaves may vary from symmetrical to irregular; and in shape, from broad to narrow and from small-toothed to wavy margins.
