Color Name: ColorBlaze® Royal Pineapple Brandy™
This jazzy Coleus for sun and shade features yellow to chartreuse luminescent foliage with accents of burgundy bronze, forming a very well-branched plant. Royal Pineapple Brandy makes a great thriller in combination planters and is stunning planted en masse in borders.
Like all ColorBlaze® Coleus, it is bred to take the heat and bloom very late in the season, if at all, extending its garden performance into the fall. Foliage interest. Heat tolerant. Deadheading is not necessary. Adaptable as a houseplant .
Growing Tips: Coleus do not show their best color when over fertilized, so fertilize at half strength on a regular basis, or use a time release fertilizer (recommended). Pinching the growing tips of your coleus when they are young will increase branching and make your plant more bushy. Some coleus plants will bloom, and the blooms may be pinched off or allowed to develop according to your personal preference. It doesn't hurt coleus to be pinched and pruned. In fact, it is often necessary to prune coleus in mid-summer to help the plant keep its shape and freshen its appearance.
