COLORBLAZE® WICKED WITCH™ Plectranthus
(Coleus) A Garden Crossings favorite! In my trials, ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus did not disappoint. Standing 24-40 inches tall and spreading up to 36” wide, this coleus is sure to be a thriller in containers as well as in the landscape. The deep burgundy/black foliage is heavily serrated and edged in a bright chartreuse green border. ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ is grown for its foliage interest in full sun to full shade gardens. The ColorBlaze® series of coleus have been bred to bloom very late in the season so that you rarely will see a flower. If flowers start to form or if your plant is getting taller than desired, we recommend pinching it back to your desired height. The plant will, in turn, produce more foliage for a fuller-looking plant. We recommend planting in full sun for the richest flower color. ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ is great for planting in mass, as a border, or in container designs. I personally love my ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ underplanted with the Superbells®. (The Superbells® did get lost by the end of the summer)
