Solenostemon Scutellariodes Flamethrower

What is the plant

FlameThrower Chili Pepper Coleus' attractive serrated pointy leaves remain lime green in color with showy dark red variegation throughout the year. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. Exquisite multi-colored foliage on an upright, compact plant that tolerates full sun and shade. Use as a single or mixed color planting for stunning color and texture to edge a border, or as a container specimen. Perfect for high-impact in the heat of summer. Grown year-round in temperate, frost-free regions; treat as an annual elsewhere.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly, keeping the soil moist.
Pruning
Around midsummer, coleus should be pruned regardless of whether it will be allowed to flower. If it's not maintained, it could overgrow and branches can snap from their weight.
Fertilizer
Fertilize: Once a month.

Sunlight
Full sun, partial shade.
Soil
Grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in a sheltered, sunny site. Protect in winter in cold areas.
Temperature
Cold nights in the 40-degree Fahrenheit range can damage the coleus. This is true even if there is no frost. Generally speaking, coleus plants are too tender to survive temperatures at the literal freezing point, which is, of course, 32 degrees.
