Coleus (Coleus)
Color Name: Volcanica French Quarter
Volcanic French Quarter Coleus is a popular and eye-catching coleus variety known for its vibrant foliage and adaptable nature. It features stunning burgundy and red leaves and a distinctive lime green edge, offering a visually striking display in a variety of settings. This coleus is often prized for its vibrant foliage and is considered relatively low maintenance, making it suitable for various landscape applications such as mass planting, border edging, general garden use, container planting, and even hanging baskets.
Road Trip is bred to take the heat and bloom very late in the season, if at all, extending its garden performance into the fall. Sun to shade tolerant. Foliage interest. Heat tolerant. Deadheading 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.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants.
