Description

(Coleus) Colorblaze® Chocolate Drop Plectranthus has lobed, rounded green leaves that have a deep crimson center and crimson venation. The trailing habit of Colorblaze® Chocolate Drop makes it a sweet filler for your combination planters, window boxes and hanging baskets. The beauty of Coleus is in the brightly colored foliage that is easy to maintain in almost any soil conditions. The flowers are generally pinched off to keep the plant full and bushy. Colorblaze® Chocolate Drop Coleus prefers sun but will also shine in a part shade area to add a splash of color. Keep your plants nourished with Proven Winners® water soluble plant food every week or two during the growing season.

Reviews

It's just the cutest foliage. Very true to photos.

I usually have at least one trailing coleus in a container every year. These are so vigorous, they can easily take over a mixed container planting, which is my only complaint.
