Coleus is a tender perennial, often grown as an annual due to its sensitivity to cold temperatures. With proper care, it can thrive as a perennial in warmer climates.
Coleus thrives in partial shade but can also tolerate full sun with adequate watering. Ensure well-draining soil and avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.
