Main Street Bourbon Street Coleus

Main Street Bourbon Street is an upright Coleus selection with burgundy leaves edged in lime green. Dümmen Orange lists it in the Main Street series’ brown color group and identifies it as a pot crop tolerant of sun and shade. ## Landscape Use Use Bourbon Street as a strong foliage accent in a patio container or seasonal border. Its dark center and bright margins create contrast in mixed plantings; the [Dümmen Orange product page](https://na.dummenorange.com/app/en/products/usa/coleus/main-street-bourbon-street/PAT_70827) confirms its series, color group, upright habit, and container use. Grower listings describe burgundy and lime-green foliage and good branching. ## Foliage and Size Published dimensions cluster around 12–16 inches tall and 8–15 inches wide, with another grower reporting 14–16 by 10–12 inches. These are nursery estimates and can vary with light, pot size, and growing time. The [Lucas Greenhouses listing](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Coleus-scutellariodes-Main-Street-Bourbon-Street) gives the narrower production range. ## Siting Choose full sun or partial shade and keep the soil evenly moist but well drained. Coleus is grown for foliage rather than flowers; [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/coleus-scutellarioides/) notes that cultivar light needs vary, and [UMN Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/coleus) gives practical guidance for beds and containers. ## Maintenance Water when the surface begins to dry, checking containers more often during warm weather. Pinch young stem tips to promote branching and remove flower spikes as they appear to keep attention on the foliage. Coleus is cold sensitive; move a container indoors before frost if you want to keep the plant through winter.
