Marooned Coleus

ColorBlaze Marooned is a Proven Winners Coleus selection with deep, velvety maroon foliage and a well-branched habit. Proven Winners lists it at 24–36 inches tall, in USDA zones 10–11, and suitable for sun to shade; the University of Florida identifies the selection as UF 10-8-1 and records Marooned as its marketed name. [Proven Winners’ cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/images/professional/signature-gardens/greenbrier_2016.pdf) and [University of Florida’s cultivar record](https://hos.ifas.ufl.edu/media/hosifasufledu/documents/pdf/Clark-CV-2023.pdf) support these details. ## Growing and placement Give the plant room for its mature height and branching. It tolerates a range of light and works in containers or landscape plantings. Water during active growth and use a draining soil mix; container plants dry faster than in-ground plantings. ## Maintenance Pinch early tips for a denser outline and remove flower spikes when foliage is the priority. Protect it from frost; the cited hardiness range is 10–11.
