When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 9 inches apart. \u003cspan\u003eThis fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate, needing replacement the following year. \u003c\/span\u003eAs such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in partial shade to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eMain Street Alligator Alley Coleus is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a canvas of foliage against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"27 JF 142 WK 11","offers":[{"title":"4.5\" Pot","offer_id":31469784367193,"sku":null,"price":9.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0205\/4654\/products\/Coleus_-_Main_Street_Alligator_Alley.jpg?v=1582475075","url":"https:\/\/www.calgaryplants.com\/products\/coleus-main-street-alligator-alley","provider":"Calgary Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
