Description

(Coleus) Add a bright spot of foliage color to your garden with Coleus Colorblaze® El Brighto. The tricolor foliage features shades of red, burgundy, and edged in yellow. The heavily serrated narrow leaves add texture to the landscape. Standing 2-3 feet tall and wide, Colorblaze® El Brighto Coleus likes to be grown in full sun to shade locations. The more sun it gets the more intense the coloration. Coleus is fairly low maintenance, the Colorblaze® series has been bred to flower late in the season. If flowers emerge we recommend trimming them off so they do not take away from the beauty of the foliage. It is a great selection for mass planting, borders, and containers. We recommend planting in a moderate to a moist location with good drainage and airflow. Coleus likes water but does not like wet feet. Consider planting Colorblaze® El Brighto with a grouping of other Colorblaze® coleus for a great mix of colors.
