The Coleus ‘Solar Flare’ is an upright and vigorous foliage annual, remarkable for its large, intense crimson to ruby red leaves, edged with bright lime green.
The contrast is very striking: the center is warm and bright, while the green margin brings a sharp definition to each leaf. In full sun, the red tones become even deeper and more vibrant.
It is ideal for sunny beds, large pots, and planters, where it creates a spectacular effect all season.
