ColorBlaze Newly Noir Coleus

ColorBlaze® Newly Noir™ is an upright coleus selected for very deep purple foliage that reads nearly black. The [Proven Winners cultivar page](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/coleus/colorblaze-newly-noir-coleus-scutellarioides) identifies the exact selection as ‘G18152’ and describes it as an annual for sunny or shady sites. ## Garden Use and Size Newly Noir reaches 24–40 inches tall and 18–36 inches wide, making it useful in a border, landscape bed, or large container. The breeder recommends it as a thriller in container combinations and lists it for mass planting. Its deep foliage creates contrast against brighter flowering or foliage plants. ## Siting and Season The cultivar is listed for USDA zones 10–11 and tolerates heat. The breeder lists average water and describes the plant as grown for foliage. In colder regions, use it as a warm-season annual and protect it from frost. ## Maintenance Newly Noir is listed as easy to maintain, and deadheading is not necessary. Feed at planting; container plants may need additional fertilizer during a long growing season. If the stems become open or tired, the breeder recommends trimming up to one-third of the plant to encourage fuller growth. Keep container soil evenly watered without leaving it waterlogged.
