Coleus thrive in cool, evenly moist, well-drained soil. … Some modern coleus varieties handle full sun, but most still flourish with at least dappled shade and direct sun limited to morning hours. Too much sun or intense midday rays leave foliage scorched and faded; too little light causes weak growth.
What coleus can tolerate sun?
Two of my favorite coleus varieties are ‘Wasabi’, and ‘Redhead’, because they are absolutely stunning when planted in the same container and they flourish in the sun. Both grow about the same height and the combination of the chartreuse ‘Wasabi’ and the wine-colored ‘Redhead’ is simply stunning.

Where is the best place to plant coleus?
Plant coleus in a sunny or partly shaded spot, in moist but well-drained soil. Coleus are low growing, so they look best at the front of a border, combined with other bedding plants, or in pot on a patio. If you’re growing coleus as a house plant, grow it in a bright spot that gets a little direct sun.
