ColorBlaze Golden Dreams Coleus

ColorBlaze Golden Dreams is an upright, foliage-grown coleus with bright chartreuse leaves traced by contrasting red veins. Its vivid color works as a focal point in a container or as a warm-season accent in a sunny or shaded planting. ## Foliage and form The chartreuse foliage and red veining create strong contrast through the growing season. Plants typically reach 24–40 inches tall and spread 18–36 inches, making them a substantial container thriller or a bold mass planting. The breeder rates it for USDA zones 10–11 and lists it as an annual. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/10227) ## Siting Grow in sun or shade. In hot, dry conditions, afternoon shade helps protect foliage; adequate humidity supports the best performance. Use it in containers, borders, or landscape plantings where its upright shape can show above lower companions.

Pinch growing tips if a fuller shape is desired. It is grown for foliage, so routine deadheading is unnecessary; remove any flower spikes if you prefer to keep attention on the leaves. Coleus is frost tender and is generally treated as a warm-season annual outside its hardiness range. Taxonomy follows [Kew’s Plants of the World Online](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/446165-1).
