Coleus Meandering Linda Rooted Starter Plant: Overview
The Coleus Meandering Linda Rooted Starter Plant, a vibrant member of the Lamiaceae family, traces its origins to the tropical climates of Southeast Asia. This plug-rooted starter plant features uniquely patterned, lance-shaped leaves with deep magenta veins meandering across chartreuse-green foliage, creating a mesmerizing stained-glass effect. Thriving in partial shade to filtered sunlight, it’s ideal for adding dynamic color to shaded gardens, indoor planters, or mixed containers. Hardy in zones 10-11 but easily grown as an annual elsewhere, this low-maintenance coleus grows 12-18" tall with a semi-trailing habit, perfect for spilling over pots or brightening gloomy corners.
Symbolizing artistic expression and adaptability, the Coleus Meandering Linda is a living tapestry for plant enthusiasts. Contains diterpene compounds, making it toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
Coleus Meandering Linda Rooted Starter Plant: Benefits

- Fast-growing, achieves full size in 6-8 weeks with proper care
- Thrives in containers, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover in warm climates

Coleus Meandering Linda Care Guide
Renowned for its painterly leaves and easygoing nature, this starter plant flourishes with minimal effort. Follow these guidelines for vibrant, healthy growth.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry, typically every 3-4 days in summer. Reduce to weekly in cooler months. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking roots.
Light
Prefers 2-4 hours of gentle morning sun or bright, indirect light. Maintains bold leaf patterns under 40-60% shade cloth outdoors. Avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent fading.
Temperature
Ideal range: 60°F-85°F (16°C-29°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Move indoors in fall if grown outside zones 10-11.
Common Problems
- Leaf drop from sudden temperature changes or dry air
- Leggy growth due to insufficient light or overcrowding
- Aphids or whiteflies are attracted to new growth
- Root rot from overwatering or compacted soil
- Faded leaf colors caused by excessive fertilizer
Best Locations & Uses
- Creates dramatic contrast in shaded border gardens or woodland settings
- Elevates office spaces or north-facing windowsills as a pop of color
- Pairs beautifully with ferns or hostas in mixed shade containers
- Ideal for vertical gardens or hanging planters to showcase trailing stems
- Safe for pet-free homes or placed on high shelves away from animals
