Crimson Gold Coleus

Crimson Gold is a well-branched coleus selected for deep red foliage edged in golden green. PanAmerican Seed describes it as a vigorous, mounded plant with color that holds through the season and a late flowering habit. The breeder lists a mature height and width of 14–18 inches, which replaces the conflicting larger metric points in this record. ## Garden Use Place Crimson Gold in a patio planter or a sunny to shaded border where the red center and gold-green margin remain easy to see. The breeder reports performance in both sun and shade; in hot, dry conditions, monitor moisture and watch for stress rather than assuming every site will suit it equally. ## Growing Conditions PanAmerican Seed lists the selection for sun and shade and describes it as well branched. Coleus generally grows in moist, rich, loose soil; NC State Extension offers that as broad genus care guidance. Use a well-drained mix in containers and water when the surface begins to dry. ## Maintenance Pinch growing tips if a fuller outline is desired and remove flower spikes if keeping attention on foliage.
