What does COLEUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tropical plant grown mainly for its brightly colored, patterned leaves rather than its flowers.
Coleus belongs to the mint family and is native to Southeast Asia and other tropical regions, where related wild forms still grow. Gardeners prize coleus above all for its foliage, which can show streaks and blotches of red, purple, yellow, and green on a single leaf. Because the small blue flower spikes are unremarkable, growers often pinch them off so the plant channels its energy into leaf color. Many modern coleus varieties sold in nurseries are hybrids bred purely for striking leaf patterns.
