ColorBlaze® Pepper Flakes™ coleus delivers fast-growing, high-impact color with a bold maroon-red base dramatically flecked in bright chartreuse, creating a striking bicolor foliage effect. Its finely textured, feathery leaves add softness and movement to containers and landscapes, while the vibrant contrast ensures standout appeal from spring through frost. This heat-tolerant, low-maintenance annual performs beautifully in both sun and shade, with richer red tones developing in lower light conditions. Like other ColorBlaze coleus, it is bred for exceptional vigor and tends to flower very late, if at all, keeping energy focused on lush foliage.
