Coleus

Colors aren't the only important part when discussing what makes a plant appealing. Foliage shapes and patterns are just as integral. Most coleus varieties are shade-loving plants with dynamically-shaped leaves, like fringes, scallops, or teeth. Like many other plants that thrive in the shade, this plant is remarkably easy to care for. They're so easy to grow that you'll probably have to perform regular maintenance to ensure they don't dominate your yard.
