Hipsters Zooey Coleus

Coleus ‘Hipsters Zooey’ forms a low, spreading mound of narrow leaves patterned in lime-gold and cherry red. It is grown mainly for its foliage, reaching 9 inches high and about 23 inches wide. ## Placement and color The [Terra Nova cultivar profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coleus-hipsters-zooey/) identifies ‘Zooey’, lists USDA zones 10–11, and recommends part to full shade. It describes gold-green foliage with red markings and lists borders, containers, and mass plantings as uses. A [Greenhouse Product News profile](https://gpnmag.com/article/perennial-solutions-coleus-hipsters-zooey/) notes that morning sun with afternoon shade gives good color and reports lavender-blue flowers in late summer. ## Growing conditions Use a well-drained mix with moderate organic matter and keep the root ball evenly moist. The spreading stems can soften a container edge or fill the front of a summer border. ## Maintenance Pinching is not required for this naturally branching selection. Protect it from frost outside its warm-climate range, and remove flower spikes if you prefer to keep attention on the foliage.
