Main Street Sunset Boulevard Coleus

Main Street Sunset Boulevard is an upright Coleus with bronze foliage, orange centers, and a bicolor leaf pattern. Dümmen Orange places it in the Main Street series’ orange color group and lists it as a pot crop tolerant of sun and shade. ## Landscape Use Use Sunset Boulevard as a warm-toned foliage accent in containers, mixed annual displays, or seasonal beds. Its orange-and-bronze pattern adds contrast while the upright habit gives a container some height. The [Dümmen Orange page](https://na.dummenorange.com/app/en/products/usa/coleus/main-street-sunset-boulevard/PAT_70750) identifies the exact selection, color group, habit, and pot use; [Campbell’s Nursery](https://www.campbellsnursery.com/product/landscapeplants/annuals/springandsummerannuals/coleus-main-street-sunset-boulevard/) describes its bronze leaves with orange centers. ## Foliage and Size Reported mature dimensions vary with the trial or nursery setting: one greenhouse listing gives 12–16 inches in both height and spread, another describes a 16-by-20-inch plant, and Penn State’s 2018 trial recorded 30 by 38 inches. The catalog display range therefore spans 12–30 inches in height and 12–38 inches in width; the width crosses three feet and is shown in feet. ## Siting Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Coleus cultivars differ in light tolerance and are grown for foliage rather than flowers. [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/coleus-scutellarioides/) describes species-level care, and [UMN Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/coleus) covers watering for containers and garden beds. ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly moist, especially in containers during warm weather. Pinch young growth to encourage branching and remove flower spikes as they develop. Coleus is sensitive to cold; protect it before frost or move a container indoors if you want to overwinter the plant.
