Wizard® Rose Coleus

Wizard® Rose is a compact, mounded coleus grown for colorful foliage. PanAmerican Seed lists the selection at 12–14 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, with shade or partial sun exposure. ## Foliage and placement Leaves have rose-red centers with cream and green margins. Use this patterned foliage in mixed containers, planters, baskets, or landscape beds. [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/018001649004669/coleus-wizard-rose/) confirms the Wizard Rose selection and its dimensions; [Harris Seeds](https://www.harrisseeds.com/collections/shade-coleus/products/02292-coleus-wizard-rose) describes its leaf pattern. ## Soil and water Choose well-drained, organic-rich soil. The University of Minnesota Extension recommends pH 6–7 for coleus, and the breeder lists medium water. Keep the root zone evenly moist; in garden beds, water when the top inch or two dries, and check containers more often. The breeder recommends shade or partial sun for this Wizard cultivar. ## Seasonal interest The breeder lists late-spring through autumn bloom season. The foliage remains the main display, and coleus is cold-sensitive, so use it as warm-season color where frost occurs. ## Maintenance Pinch flower stalks as they form if foliage is the priority. Pinching stem tips can also help maintain a compact, bushy outline.
