Start by choosing a large, sturdy pot that complements your Coleus' vibrant foliage. Place your Coleus in the center, ensuring it's the first thing guests see when they enter the room. Surround it with smaller plants or flowers in complementary colors to create a harmonious look.

Using Height to Your Advantage

Don't shy away from using tall, leggy Coleus varieties to create visual interest. Place them at the back of a grouping, allowing their height to draw the eye upward and create a sense of depth.
