Howzit everyone. I have a mystery plant that I’d like help identifying. The shrub is growing in Colorado, looks like it has palmate leaves with bicolor yellow / green and red / bronze coloring. Sorry about the pic quality, it’s from an iphone.

thanks,
effen.

At first glance it looks like Coleus… but the palmate leaves are throwing me off. Not sure and curious to find out myself!

I would say from this photo it is definitly a coleus, There are so many cultivars of this plant its sick! I have seen them with wfleshy/woody base if over wintered. I wouldn’t be surprised if the palmate leaf is part of a nifty cultivar.

Thanks for the replies. Coleus typically has a bit more reticulation in the coloring but I’ll try looking online for cultivars that look like the photo.
