Latin Name: Plectranthus scutellarioides ‘Wildfire’ 

The Coleus ‘Wildfire’ is a dramatic, sun-tolerant annual prized for its fiery foliage and vigorous growth. Growing 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) tall, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and bold landscape accents.

This eye-catching cultivar features large, serrated leaves in intense shades of crimson-red and burgundy, often with golden-yellow edges, resembling flames. Unlike shade-loving coleus, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, with colors that intensify in bright light.

Thrives in moist, well-draining soil. Heat-tolerant but frost-sensitive (hardy in zones 10–11). Deer-resistant and low-maintenance.

Perfect for high-contrast designs, pair with silver dusty miller, blue salvias, or chartreuse sweet potato vine.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Flame-like, sun-resistant

• Habit: Upright, bushy

• Uses: Thriller in containers, tropical gardens

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets.
