Add colour and texture to containers with Sol™
With limited options for attractive foliage plants from seed, growers often turn to coleus to add interest and texture to containers. The Sol Collection is another unique solution. This fantastic foliage celosia offers relatively fast production time and no downy mildew issues. It holds well at retail and expands the options for consumers looking for sun-loving foliage accent plants for patio planters with a different texture and look. Sol is also fabulous for quick-growing, low, shrub-like plants that look great at the front of the border.
