Container #29: Pineapple Splash

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

This coleus tolerates sun well, and its colors are enhanced in the sun. I grow this plant where it receives sun until about 2:00 in the afternoon.

RECIPE:
• (3) Coleus “Pineapple Splash”
• (3) Lysimachia “Aurora”

TIPS:
• I recommend some protection from the wind as this container grows taller.
• Trim the lysimachia before it reaches the ground to prevent rooting.
• This lysimachia is a hardy perennial. It forms a nice groundcover but spreads readily!
