Details

Solenostemon hybrida 'Colorblaze Velvet Mocha' is a bold, yet lacy textural plant featuring rich, burgundy-mocha colored leaves. Coleus is an exotic specimen or backdrop in the landscape, or as a centerpiece for larger contianers. Heat tolerant. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.

Growing Tips

Coleus are generally grown for their foliage. As flowers appear the plants generally begin to degrade. Removing flowers as they appear will help keep the foliage looking its best.
