Commonly known as coleus, Plectranthus scutellarioides is a striking species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. This variegated coleus plant macro photography captures the bushy, woody=based evergreen perennial’s highly decorative leaves in stunning detail.
Native to southeast Asia and Malaysia it grows to 60–75 cm (24–30 in) tall and wide. Another common name is painted nettle, reflecting its relationship of deadnettles which are in the same family. (True nettles and their close kin are in the Urticaceae.)
