Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Plectranthus scutellarioides (coleus) named ‘UF15-4-43’, selected for its highly desirable combination of traits: bi-colored crimson and chartreuse foliage with superior stability in both sun and shade; large leaves with extremely uniform lance shape across the plant throughout development, and the leaves are larger than most plants of this leaf type; excellent lateral branching, thus providing ample vegetative propagules for producers; and vigorous spreading habit, growing more horizontal than vertical, which allows it to fill space with vibrant color very quickly in summer gardens. This plant has not been observed to produce flowers in any trial to date, thus it is desirable for long-season performance in the landscape. It is uniform through all stages of production and it has long season performance as an annual plant in the landscape until first signs of frost in late Fall.
