A vigorous, seasonal foliage plant that is sure to spice up your summer pots and borders. Coleus 'Flamethrower Habanero' offers warm, coppery-orange leaves to complement contemporary planting schemes or contrast with other coleus from the Flamethrower Series.

Slow to flower, the mass of foliage remains uniform and dense over a long period and can be brought inside as a wonderful autumn and winter pot plant when temperatures begin to tumble.


  • Garden care:
    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.
