Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Plectranthus scutellarioides (coleus) named ‘UF18-97-2’, selected for its excellent vigor, lateral branching, uniform overall habit, and intense crimson color in sun and shade. The new coleus cultivar ‘UF18-97-2’ was selected because it has superb vigor with brilliant crimson colored leaves with well-defined chartreuse margins. It does not produce flowers, so leaf abscission is minimized late in the landscape season. What makes it a rare red foliage genotype is that it is extremely vigorous and can easily grow three feet tall and five feet wide in the landscape while maintaining intense deep red color in both sun and shade.
