Coleus - Wall Street

Common Name: Main Street Wall Street Coleus

Description: Main Street Wall Street Coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Wall Street') is a vibrant annual plant renowned for its striking burnt orange to copper-red foliage accented by deep purple-red veins. The serrated, pointed leaves form a dense, mounded habit, making it a standout choice for adding bold color to garden beds, borders, and containers. This variety thrives in well-drained soils with consistent moisture and performs best in partial shade to full shade, though it can tolerate some sun if adequately watered. Regular pinching of the stems encourages bushier growth and helps maintain its compact form. While primarily grown for its foliage, any emerging flower spikes can be removed to preserve the plant's energy and leaf vibrancy.
