Description

A plant grown for its foliage - the NEW Coleus 'Solar Flare' bursts into your summer garden with unbeatable leaf colour, just look at it!

Bright, bold and full of energy, glowing red leaves are edged with crisp lime-yellow edges. This colour lasts for months, keeping the garden lively even when your annual flowers fade.

It grows strongly and steadily, reaching around 90cm tall, so it adds height and structure. It keeps its shape, holds its colour and grows happily in both sun and partial shade. Shadier corners suddenly come to life. Sunny spots look even brighter. It is a very easy plant to grow and gives a big return for little effort.

The contrast of 'Solar Flare' truly is eye-catching and makes containers, borders and patio pots feel much fuller and more interesting.

Top Tips
Pinch regularly to help Coleus to thrive and produce a dense carpet of colour.
Care Information
  • Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they’ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Remove any emerging flower spikes to retain a bushy habit on each plant.
  • When growing in pots, be sure to move the plants inside, such as the greenhouse or conservatory, for the autumn and winter months.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
