Grew this Coleus as part of a trial program in 2024. Very nice compact plant that kept its color. I will definitely include it in my repertoire of annuals.

Features
This wonderful new coleus for sun and shade features golden chartruese foliage, forming a very well-branched plant that works well in landscapes and containers. 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. ColorBlaze Mini Me Chartreuse is a bright blast of color in a small package.

Maintenance Notes: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.
How to overwinter coleus indoors:
- Choose only healthy plants.
- Bring plants indoors before frost damages foliage.
- Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors.
- Place in bright areas and increase humidity by using pebble trays.
- Be careful not to overwater.
- When active growth starts in spring, feed and prune as needed.
- Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring after all threat of frost has passed.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
