Coleus Franklin Street

Bicolour Coleus with orange centre flare

This selection is all about leaves you notice first: a chocolate‑burgundy centre that can show a bright orange/rose flare toward the midrib, framed by a sharp chartreuse‑lime edge. The foliage is soft, boldly two‑ to three‑toned and arranged on an upright, mounded silhouette that reads colourful and architectural on a shelf or in a container. The plant is a modern selected cultivar with a marketed colour blend that’s its defining feature.

As a commercial Main Street series selection it keeps the compact, upright mounding habit most buyers expect from bedding coleus. It’s described as later‑to‑flower, so the foliage display holds up longer into the season; growers commonly pinch terminal tips to encourage branching and preserve the dense shape rather than letting flower spikes form. You won’t see climbing or fenestration here — this is purely a foliage performer with reliable, repeatable form.

In real rooms it behaves as a space‑friendly, easygoing ornamental: compact, showy leaves and a predictable, tidy habit. One important trade‑off is safety — this species can be toxic to pets and may cause skin irritation in sensitive people, so keep it out of reach and handle with care. Also note this is a newer branded selection in the Main Street series and some supply sources note propagation controls.

Best for bright shelves, container displays or mixed borders where colourful leaves do the work. We sell it in a medium 12 cm pot (about 20 cm high), which gives you immediate colour and presence for tabletops or balcony pots.
