ColorBlaze® 'Kingswood Torch' Coleus

ColorBlaze® ‘Kingswood Torch’ is a bold foliage coleus with dark burgundy-red leaves, vivid cherry-red markings, and lime-green accents. Its upright, spreading growth brings strong contrast to sunny or shaded seasonal containers and garden beds. ## Foliage and size The [Proven Winners ColorBlaze tip sheet](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/pdf/sell-sheets/ColorBlazeTipSheet-12.pdf) lists Kingswood Torch at 36–42 inches tall. [Calloway’s exact-cultivar profile](https://www.calloways.com/product/colorblaze-kingswood-torch-coleus/) lists about 36 inches tall and 24 inches wide and describes its red striping and lime accents. The current height range is updated to the breeder’s range and width to the exact retailer measurement. ## Siting Grow in full sun or full shade in fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soil. The [Mississippi State University Extension](https://extension.msstate.edu/news/southern-gardening/2024/low-maintenance-coleus-are-true-delight-grow) notes that cultivar sun preferences vary and recommends consistent moisture and regular feeding. ## Maintenance Pinch stems to encourage branching and remove flower spikes when grown primarily for foliage. Protect from frost; coleus is usually grown as a warm-season annual outside tropical climates.
