Description
ColorBlaze® Pepper Flakes™ Coleus
ColorBlaze® Pepper Flakes™ Coleus brings bold color and texture to the garden with feathery maroon-red foliage heavily speckled with vibrant chartreuse. Its striking bicolor foliage performs beautifully in both sun and shade, with deeper red tones becoming more prominent in lower light conditions.
Fast growing and heat tolerant, this coleus quickly develops into a full, robust plant that makes an impressive statement in containers and the landscape. Its upright habit makes it an excellent thriller in mixed containers, while its colorful foliage is equally stunning planted in borders or mass plantings. ColorBlaze® Pepper Flakes™ blooms very late, if at all, allowing its foliage to remain the focus throughout the season and into fall.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, this variety requires no deadheading and is also deer resistant.
