Wildfire Ignition Coleus

Wildfire™ Ignition is a compact, low-growing coleus with a self-branching, spreading habit. Its red to hot-pink leaves may carry lime-green or charcoal edges, bringing a bright, variable pattern to shaded seasonal plantings. ## Cultivar and size The [Terra Nova profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/coleus-wildfire-ignition/) identifies Wildfire™ ‘Ignition’ and gives a mature size of about 8 inches tall by 16 inches wide, with USDA zones 10–11. It describes the plant as a dense spreader that branches without pinching and lists part shade to full shade. Its compact 8-inch height and 16-inch spread suit container edges and shaded border fronts. ## Siting Use the spreading form at the edge of a container or in a seasonal border. For coleus generally, [University of Minnesota Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/coleus) recommends well-drained soil; site choices vary by cultivar, and container plants need more frequent watering than garden beds. ## Maintenance Keep the mix evenly watered without leaving roots in standing water. Terra Nova describes this selection as self-branching, so routine pinching is unnecessary. Protect it from cold; coleus is cold-sensitive and is commonly grown as a warm-season annual outside suitable climates.
