This wonderful new coleus, ColorBlaze® Mini Me Watermelon, features watermelon to coral foliage with golden chartreuse accents. It forms a tidy, well-branched plant that works well as a border in landscapes and in containers as a thriller plant. As a bonus, Mini Me Watermelon will perform in both sun and shade!

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. This new type is substantially smaller than the rest of the ColorBlaze® coleus.

Plant Powered Packaging by Proven Winners®: Introducing the full annual Eco+Grande collection! The Eco+Grande is a game changing Plant Container made from plants!  This compostable container is made from starchy renewable plants like corn, switch grass and sugar beets grown in the United States. The Eco+Grande has nutrients built into the wall of the container that helps plants grow bigger and faster all season, if planted in the ground. 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.

  • 12-20 inches tall and 10- 18 inches wide at maturity
  • Annual except in zones 10-11
  • Plant in sun or shade

Care: 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. Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners® Water Soluble Fertilizer
