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.

• 12-20 inches tall and 10-18 inches wide at maturity

• Space plants 10-16 inches apart for best results
• Produces lavender flowers very late in the season, if at all
• Maintains watermelon to coral foliage with yellow highlights from spring to frost
• Great for borders, containers, landscapes, mass plantings
• Resists deer
• Heat tolerant, foliage interest, adaptable as a houseplant, deadheading not necessary

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.
