ColorBlaze® Cherry Drop Coleus | Proven Winners®

Cherry red foliage edged in bright lime green.

ColorBlaze® Cherry Drop Coleus is a foliage-focused annual that delivers bold, high-contrast color in containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds from spring through frost.

What You'll Use It For

Strong contrast that adds energy to any planting.

• Spilling over containers with bold, trailing color
• Breaking up green-heavy plantings with high contrast
• Adding movement and color to hanging baskets
• Mass planting for a dense, colorful groundcover
• Pairing with simple greens or whites to let it stand out

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This keeps its color in both sun and shade, which makes placement flexible. The trailing habit fills and spills without getting leggy, and the smaller leaves create a dense, full look instead of a patchy one. It's useful when you need consistent color and coverage without relying on flowers.
