ColorBlaze® Chocolate Drop is a striking and versatile plant that adds bold color and texture to any space. Its rounded green leaves are highlighted by a deep crimson center, creating a stunning contrast that catches the eye. This heat-tolerant beauty resists deer, ensuring it stays vibrant and undisturbed in your garden. Best of all, no deadheading is required, making it a low-maintenance choice. Adaptable as a houseplant, it thrives when placed in bright, indirect light, bringing a splash of color indoors. Perfect for gardeners looking for easy care and dramatic flair, ColorBlaze® Chocolate Drop is a true showstopper.

The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this in our blog.

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance. Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. We have worked hard to choose coleus that bloom late in the season or not at all. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.
