  • Patent number: PP35344
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides) plant named ‘UF20-93-9’ selected for having a combination of desirable traits that make it well-suited for good performance as an annual plant in the summer landscape. ‘UF20-93-9’ has foliage that is consistent bright reddish orange, surrounded by well-defined chartreuse leaf margins. This bi-colored combination is novel, and ‘UF20-93-9’ maintains both colors in a wide range of garden light conditions. ‘UF20-93-9’ has exceptional vigor, and grows wider than tall, making it a plant that fills large gaps of summer garden space with consistent colors. It is extremely vigorous, highly branched and uniform in shape. These characters allow propagators to quickly produce many cuttings, and growers to produce large crops efficiently.
