Canby, Ore. – Terra Nova Nurseries announced today a sneak peek of its brand-new Coleus NOVA ‘Mad Medusa’. This fast-growing annual forms a dense mound of fine, twisted, lime green foliage that resembles coral. Coleus NOVA ‘Mad Medusa’ is the newest varietal addition to Terra Nova Nurseries’ NOVA series.
The lacy, lime green leaves of this self-branching annual can add a unique pop of color and texture to containers, summer borders, mass plantings, and small hedges. It shows great garden performance and is well suited for the American Deep South.
U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zones for Coleus NOVA ‘Mad Medusa’ are 10-11, and its exposure allows for partial- to full-shade. This annual has a tight, upright and mounding habit with a foliage height of 10” and foliage spread of 12”.
