FlameThrower™ 'Salsa Verde' PP29820 Coleus

FlameThrower™ Salsa Verde is a lime-green foliage coleus selected for stable color and a compact, mounded shape. Its bright leaves hold their chartreuse character in both sun and shade. ## Foliage and habit The [Ball Seed listing](https://info.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=018006557021505) identifies Salsa Verde as UF14-24-1 and PP29,820, with 12–18 inches of height, 16–18 inches of width, and shade or sun exposure. Its exact [plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP29820) describes vigorous, compact, mounded growth and bright chartreuse foliage that stayed consistent in sun and shade, along with heat tolerance and late flowering. Ball also presents the cultivar as a lime-green accent for containers and mixed plantings. ## Placement Use this foliage selection in a pot, mixed container, or landscape bed. [UF/IFAS](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/coleus/) recommends matching the planting site to the cultivar's light needs. ## Maintenance Grow in well-drained soil with organic matter and keep the root zone lightly moist. Containers may need more frequent checks than in-ground plantings.
