Wildfire Flicker Coleus

WILDFIRE™ ‘Flicker’ is a compact coleus with peachy-gold leaves, red veins that blush pink in sunlight, and a tight mounding habit. TERRA NOVA lists it at about 14 inches tall and wide and recommends part shade to full shade ([breeder profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coleus-wildfire-flicker/)). ## Garden use This smaller selection suits hanging baskets, houseplant displays, and summer edging. Its foliage blends green, pink, and red tones, while the breeder’s profile also records small blue-to-purple flowers. The profile lists USDA hardiness zones 10–11; in cooler regions, grow it as a warm-season annual or bring containers indoors before frost. ## Growing conditions Provide part shade or full shade and well-drained soil with moderate organic matter. Water regularly and let greenhouse-grown plants dry moderately between waterings. ## Maintenance The breeder reports that ‘Flicker’ branches well without pinching or growth regulators. Trim only to shape the plant or remove damaged growth.
