We have one of the most beautiful “Kong Red” coleus plants I’ve ever encountered this year. There is a lot of variability in how they look based on culture and light level, but this one if far enough off the normal spectrum that it really took me a while to decide it’s actually a “red.” The ultimate tip-off is that the reds have a solid or darker central vein and a halo of yellow/white at the -tips- of the central color area. “Kong Rose” tends to have a light colored central vein and yellow-white background behind the -base- of the central color area. If you look closely, even though the color of this one leans heavily toward pink, the white contrasting section is barely visible at the tip of the raspberry-pink area!
