This plant can fill a container in no time. Consider it both your filler and your thriller. Give it plenty of room because it will take what it needs. I have one in a large planter with an angel wing begonia on each side. This works well because the begonias spread out beneath the coleus spilling over the sides of the pot. I did pick off a few of the bottom leaves to give the begonia more room.

In my patio pots at home, they're watered daily and fertilized once to twice a month. They thrive, foliage is AWESOME and summer blooms are extra bonuses! LOVE THEM and so do my guests!!!
