Superfine 'Rainbow Master Blend Mix' Coleus

Superfine Rainbow Masterblends Mix is a seed-grown mixture of coleus varieties from the Superfine Rainbow series, so its plants show a range of vivid leaf colors and patterns. The semi-dwarf plants branch from the base and form bushy mounds that hold color late into the season. ## Form and seasonal color [Sakata Ornamentals](https://sakataornamentals.com/plantname/superfine-rainbow/) describes Superfine Rainbow as an annual series with broad, vivid leaves, a 14-inch height, and a 10-inch width; Masterblends Mix is one of its offerings. [Ball Seed’s exact mix profile](https://info.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=018010223043377) lists mounded plants about 14 inches tall by 10 inches wide and notes flowering from late spring through autumn. [Swallowtail Garden Seeds](https://www.swallowtailgardenseeds.com/annuals/coleus/superfine-rainbow-masterblends-mix-coleus-seeds.html) describes the mix as a blend of varieties in the series, with 12–15-inch plants and large decorative leaves. ## Placement and growing Use it in shaded beds, borders, or containers where the mixed foliage can be seen up close. Grow in part shade or filtered shade in rich, moist soil. The breeder lists shade to part shade; avoid strong afternoon sun where it may fade or scorch the leaves. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone consistently moist, especially in containers. Start seed indoors in a light, sterile mix, press seed onto the surface because it needs light to germinate, and transplant after frost danger passes. Pinch or remove flower spikes to keep the display focused on foliage; leaving some late blooms can provide nectar for hummingbirds and butterflies.
