There are a lot of sun Coleus out there with new selections available every year. Orange King has been around for a few years but remains a favorite of gardeners everywhere. I love its unique buckskin-yellowish-tan leaves that have a burgundy glow on the undersides. It combines well with lots of other foliage plants and performs wonderfully well as an outside bedding or container plant. A single plant in a 10-12" container makes an impressive display.
