Create design onlineAbout Coral Candy Coleus, Premium Sun
Coral Candy is a mounded Premium Sun coleus with thin, serrated leaves and a coral-pink center that blends into green. Ball lists plants about 10–16 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide for containers or garden beds.
## Foliage and Placement
Use Coral Candy where its compact foliage can be seen up close, such as a patio planter, border edge, or garden bed. Ball lists exposure to shade and sun, and notes that the displayed leaf colors can shift with environmental conditions. The exact selection’s foliage, habit, and dimensions are described on the [Ball Seed plant page](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=018006810051707).
## Growing Conditions
Keep the soil moist, rich, and loose. Premium Sun coleus can take full sun most successfully in humid regions; Ball notes that leaves may scorch in full sun where relative humidity is low. General guidance from [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/coleus-scutellarioides/) recommends part shade and notes that plants can wilt in full sun.
## Maintenance
Water consistently, especially in containers and sunny sites. Pinch stem tips to encourage a fuller form, and remove flower spikes when needed to maintain a foliage-focused display; [UF/IFAS](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/fp136) notes that removing the inconspicuous flowers encourages bushier growth.
