FlameThrower™ Chipotle Coleus
Overview
Vigorous, heat-tolerant coleus with bold, smoky foliage.
Upright, mounded habit reaching 18–30 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide.
Excellent as a specimen, in mixed containers, or massed in beds for dramatic color.
Foliage & Color
Deep, rich burgundy to chocolate leaves with warm, coppery orange and red highlights.
Leaf texture is slightly ruffled with strong contrast that holds well in sun.
Color intensifies with bright light; remains reliable in part shade.
Growing Conditions
Light: Full sun to part shade. Best color in full sun to morning sun/afternoon shade.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil; amend with compost for best performance.
Water: Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Tolerates brief dry spells once established.
Hardiness: Grown as an annual in most climates; bring indoors before frost in colder regions.
Care & Maintenance
Pinch back young growth to encourage bushiness and delay flowering.
Remove flower spikes to maintain foliage vigor and appearance.
Feed monthly with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season.
Minimal pest issues; watch for slugs and occasional aphids.
Uses
Eye-catching centerpiece in mixed containers and hanging baskets.
Bold contrast in garden beds, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
