Coleus ‘Alabama Sunset’

I’ve been enamored with Alabama Sunset Coleus ever since I first saw it planted at the Woodward Park office in Tulsa when I worked there in the mid 1980’s. There is something so appealing about its beautiful color combination of pink and yellow that compels lots of gardeners to list it as a must-have plant for their gardens. The yellow color comes on stronger with heat and more light, in fact they often look mostly pink on the greenhouse bench in the spring. Alabama Sunset Coleus is also known by a wealth of other names including; Bellingrath Pink, Texas Parkinglot and Shocking Pink.
