Grown primarily for their dramatic foliage, coleus does not disappoint. ColorBlaze Royale Apple Brandy coleus is no exception. Dramatic brown/burgundy body with chartreuse green to yellow fringes, this outstanding annual is a go-to for your spring and summer foliage garden. Heat tolerant and not attractive to deer, this annual can be used in your full sun or full shade garden giving you many choices to add this gorgeous plant to your landscape.
Native to Indonesia and Southeast Asia and Australia, Zones 10a through 11b, there are no zones in the continental United States where this plant will survive outside year round, year after year. In its native environment this plant is a perennial woody shrub. Here in Zones 3-9 we rely on its beautiful medium growing foliage to brighten even the darkest corner of our gardens.
ColorBlaze Royale Apple Brandy Coleus Care
Easy to care for, with its preference for slightly acidic to neutral soil, pH 6.0 to 6.5, keep this annual evenly moist for best performance. Well draining, organic matter rich soil, and regular watering schedule, once a season fertilization for in ground plants and every two months for container plantings will keep this plant in great condition. Not generally attractive to pests or susceptible to powdery mildew, you will find this to be an easy maintenance annual.
This plant is primarily grown for its dramatic foliage, but it does produce flowers. ColorBlaze coleus are improved hybrids that delay flowering, so you will only have to deadhead or pinch when flowers appear in late season. Flowers are considered insignificant, and pinching back will keep the lush foliage in its best condition until first frost. Lifting the plants to bring indoors over winter before frost will give you year round color indoors, just be sure to treat for pests prior to bringing in, and give it a pebble tray or regular misting to optimize plant health.
ColorBlaze Royale Apple Brandy Coleus Spacing
A medium upright plant with height of 20 to 30 inches and spread of 12 to 16 inches, utilize this plant in the middle of your landscape or containers. Spacing 12 to 16 inches will allow it to spread out and fill in. Pair with caladiums, sweet potato vines, impatiens, sedums, calibrachoas, hostas and numerous grasses to provide a wonderful mix of colors and shapes in your cottage garden or patio containers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
