Brand new Skeletal® colours!
Right from launch day in 2024, Coleus Skeletal® has been intensely popular. The quirky fishbone-shaped leaves, along with the colour contrast of that rich burgundy against the vivid lime catches the attention of whoever sees it! After two fantastic years of popularity, we are thrilled to launch three new colours to sit alongside the original variety.
The new colours include a vibrant magenta edged with lime, deep purple edged with lime, and a shocking lime green – all with that signature fishbone leaf shape. Perfect in mixed pots and containers, or even for front-of-border interest, the Skeletal® series can’t help but make an impression.
