Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Plectranthus scutellarioides (coleus) named ‘UF15-11-3’, selected because it has a combination of desirable traits not often found in our program. It has orange and chartreuse foliage with superior stability in both sun and shade. The lanced shape of the foliage is extremely uniform across the plant throughout development. It has excellent lateral branching, thus providing ample vegetative propagules for producers. It has a vigorous spreading habit, growing more horizontal than vertical, which allows it to fill space with vibrant color very quickly in summer gardens. It has superior stability in foliage color in both sun and shade conditions, maintaining stable color in all conditions. ‘UF15-11-3’ has not been observed to produce flowers in any trial we have conducted to date, so it has long season performance as an annual plant in the landscape until late Fall.
