- Light Requirement is Full Shade to Partial Shade
- Height 24-36 Inches
- Width 12-16 Inches
- Use as a thriller when using in containers
- Striking variegated foliage!
The lacy, multicolored foliage of Fishnet Stockings Coleus plays a role that’s as dramatic as it is supportive in combination plantings. The shades of chartreuse, burgundy, green, and purple set an enticing scene in shaded containers and landscapes. The striking variegation leaves an impression but doesn’t overpower its neighbors. Plus, this award-winning variety is heat tolerant, deer-resistant and adaptable as a houseplant.
Fishnet Stockings Coleus grows up to three feet high and has a regal upright habit that acts as a “thriller” plant in combination containers. They look just as beautiful next to colorful blooms as they do on their own. Coleus likes the shade, so be sure to reserve a special spot in your shady garden or patio nook for this impressive foliage plant.
Fishnet Stockings Coleus Care
Gardeners tend to agree that their Coleus looks best before they bloom, so pinching off any flowers as they appear has good results. Fertilize with well-balanced fertilizer to keep it growing happily in containers. Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
Coleus can be overwintered indoors as a houseplant. When turning your outdoor Coleus into an indoor Coleus, choose the healthiest plant and bring it indoors before the first frost. If necessary, treat for disease or insects before bringing it inside for the winter. Place in a bright area and add humidity with a pebble mat or daily mists from a spray bottle. Take care not to overwater your Coleus. Fertilize in spring and reintroduce it to the outdoors slowly in the early summer.
Fishnet Stockings Coleus Spacing
Fishnet Stockings Coleus tends to grow higher than they are wide. They can reach three feet tall at maturity, but they only need 12-16” of space in the garden. They can be planted closer together in containers, at 8-12” apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
