ColorBlaze Rediculous Coleus

ColorBlaze Rediculous is an upright, well-branched coleus grown for rich red foliage. Its strong color and substantial size make it a useful focal point in a large container or a bold seasonal accent in beds and borders. ## Foliage and form The foliage is a saturated red to burgundy red, carried on a vigorous, upright plant. It typically reaches 24–40 inches tall and spreads 18–36 inches. The breeder lists it as an annual for USDA zones 10–11 and recommends it for containers, borders, and landscape plantings.

Place it where its upright habit and color can stand above lower companions, or plant in a mass for a broad block of seasonal color.

It is grown for foliage, so deadheading is unnecessary unless you want to remove flower spikes for appearance. The plant is frost tender and is commonly grown as a warm-season annual.
