Coleus ‘Flamethrower Serrano’ has narrowly serrated, deep burgundy-red foliage with a bright yellow margin. This tender, shade-loving evergreen perennial, often grown as an annual, performs best in partial shade, where its dramatic foliage will suit pots, containers or summer border displays.
Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out young shoots regularly to maintain foliage colour and a compact shape. Remove emerging flower spikes to maintain bushy habit. If growing in pots, move indoors in autumn to overwinter.
