Coleus hybrid 'Colorblaze® Golden Dreams' is a versatile plant that does well in both sun and shade locations. The chartreuse leaves have red veins and make a striking contrast to other plants in containers. If planted in full sun it does need to have some humidity for it to thrive or get afternoon shade. This is a great choice to add some colorful thrills to landscapes, containers, and borders.
Uses: Combination Containers, Landscapes
Notable Features: Heat Tolerant

I ordered these to go with my Carding Mill Roses. The gold with red veins were the perfect foil. Unfortunately, the coleus didn’t like the sunny spot. I moved them to a partial shady area and they took off! Now they nicely complement the fall colors on our maple trees. Definitely a keeper!
