Some type of coleus, there are tons of varieties but this reminds me of a Kong coleus

Coleus!

I never realized coleus could be grown indoors. I’ve always seen it in outdoor beds here in the US. I’ll have to try it as a houseplant!

Can it stay outside during the entire summer? I planted them to keep cats from pooping in my garden.

Ive had a piece in water all winter waiting to be planted and put out side.

It looks like the dark plants on either side are also coleus. There are zillions of varieties.

I have this plant. It sucks up water so much and often so easy to dry out. I don’t know the name so came looking. Propagates so easily (at least for me).

Looks like it could be a Wizard Rose Coleus!
They’re fairly easy to grow from seeds and propagate easily as well buuuut also dry out very easily. Once they get too dry, it’s hard to bring them back. This is a plant I’d consider keeping in a self watering pot or make sure to water pretty frequently.

It’s a coleus. I have several and multiple them through propagation to the point that I have a small nursery now. They can survive indoors with optimal conditions. For example, mine are in a southwest facing sunroom during the colder months, which is about the only place I think they could actually survive, let alone thrive, indoors. They love water and they benefit from being pinched back frequently.
Coleus. I’ve had mine as a houseplant now for about 5-6 years. She’s one of my favourites. She is south-facing all year long and I trim her back every couple of months and always pinch off any flowers. She gets a good drink every week and she is thriving!

Can be very easily propagaded from even a tiny cutting
This one’s is actually currently fascinating to me because they’ve found some of the same components in the plant that make Salvia divinorum active.
