Plant used as centrepiece in floral displays in Coventry this summer. It has no flowers but beautiful brownish leaves which have frilled edges and a greenish iridescent tinge round the edges. The leaves vary in size the largest being the size of the palm of your hand. Tried in vain to contact our Council with no luck. Ive got a photo on my mobile and ordinary camera but dont know how to e-mail it. Anyone from Coventry maybe could help me if they have seen this plant in the displays (which have just been redone by the way with autumn pansies etc).

Wasn't a Coleus called Chocolate Mint, was it? Or maybe Coleus Vino Sun, image in the link below, you'll need to copy and paste into your browser

I wonder if it was ricinus the true castor oil plant. google it for images and see if it is a match. Our council often use it in bedding arrangements.
