Under the Sea Golden Guppy Coleus is a uniquely patterned, foliage-focused annual known for its intricate, finely cut leaves in glowing shades of golden yellow, chartreuse, and soft green. Its airy, textured habit creates a standout visual effect in garden beds, borders, and containers, where it adds movement, brightness, and a tropical feel. Providing continuous interest from late spring through fall, it pairs beautifully with both bold and contrasting foliage plants. In Manitoba, it is grown as a warm-season annual, thriving in warm conditions but sensitive to frost.

Under the Sea Golden Guppy Coleus, 5.5" Pot
Light Requirements
Prefers partial sun to shade. Can tolerate morning sun, but protection from strong afternoon light helps preserve its delicate leaf color and texture.
Water Requirements
Prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Avoid letting soil dry out completely, as coleus is prone to wilting under dry conditions.
Toxicity
May be mildly toxic if ingested by pets, potentially causing gastrointestinal discomfort, so it’s best kept out of reach of curious animals.
