A summer standout! Coleus 'Solar Flare' produces some of the very best foliage colour - so unique and a welcome new addition to your bedding plant displays!

A burst of glowing colour lifts any corner of the garden. This new variety has been selected for its vivid foliage, combining rich red centres with bright lime and yellow edges. It creates a strong, modern look that works beautifully in mixed plantings, pots and summer displays.

Its growth is vigorous yet manageable, reaching around 90cm tall. This gives height and structure, to create layered colour in beds and borders. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it especially valuable where other plants can fade.

Supplied as a set of 6 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Top Tips
Pinch regularly to help Coleus to thrive and produce a dense carpet of colour.
Care Information
  • Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they’ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Remove any emerging flower spikes to retain a bushy habit on each plant.
  • When growing in pots, be sure to move the plants inside, such as the greenhouse or conservatory, for the autumn and winter months.
