We absolutely love Elfers Coleus with its rich mix of deep purple, green, and magenta. The thing we like most is its ability to hold these colors through the summer. It has proven to be undaunted through the intense heat of Oklahoma’s brutal hot season, even in full sun. There are a number of selections we trial each year that drastically change color from vibrant to dull when the heat is turned up. Elfers is a true winner, listed as a favorite of many gardeners. It is an excellent choice for beds, borders, or containers.
