Here's some information about Coleus plants:
Foliage:
Coleus are primarily grown for their colorful and diverse foliage, which comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and leaf shapes.
Growing Conditions:
They thrive in moist, rich, loose soil and prefer part shade to full shade, though some varieties can tolerate more sun.
Care:
Regular pruning by pinching back stem tips encourages bushier growth and more vibrant colors. Removing flower spikes in late summer helps maintain leaf production.
Uses:
Coleus are versatile and can be used in garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, containers, or as houseplants.
Frost Sensitivity:
Coleus are not frost-tolerant and should only be planted outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
The plant in the image is a Coleus, specifically a variety with striking red and yellow-green foliage, possibly a "Copperhead" or similar cultivar known for its vibrant colors and serrated leaf edges
