Main Street Rodeo Drive Coleus

Main Street Rodeo Drive is an upright Coleus with chartreuse-to-lime foliage marked by purple veins and edges. Dümmen Orange classifies the selection in the green color group, lists bicolor foliage, and notes its tolerance of sun and shade. ## Landscape Use Use Rodeo Drive in a container or border where its purple veining can contrast with nearby green or silver foliage. Michigan State Extension highlighted the cultivar in sun and shade trial beds, while the [Dümmen Orange product page](https://na.dummenorange.com/app/en/products/usa/coleus/main-street-rodeo-drive/PAT_70789) records its Main Street identity and upright habit. ## Foliage and Size Cultivar-specific grower listings generally report 12–24 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide; another nursery lists a compact 12-by-12-inch mature size. The live catalog’s width point falls outside these exact-cultivar reports, so this profile uses the documented spread range and leaves the numeric width unspecified. The [Campbell’s Nursery listing](https://www.campbellsnursery.com/product/landscapeplants/annuals/springandsummerannuals/coleus-main-street-rodeo-drive/) and [Ebert’s Greenhouse profile](https://www.ebertsgreenhouse.com/Plant-Name/Coleus-Rodeo-Drive-Main-Street-Coleus) provide the size references. ## Siting Choose full sun or partial shade and provide moist, well-drained soil. The [Michigan State Extension trial note](https://msu-prod-2.dotcms.cloud/news/featured-five-2025-favorites-from-raker-roberta-s-trial-gardens) describes this chartreuse selection performing in both exposures. General coleus guidance from [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/coleus-scutellarioides/) covers moisture and soil conditions. ## Maintenance Water regularly, especially in containers or hot weather. Pinch young tips for fuller branching and remove flower spikes when they form so the foliage remains the main display. Protect coleus from frost; it is grown as a tender annual outdoors in cold-winter climates.
