Coleus Versa Crimson Gold
A brilliant bicolor that always looks neatly "pinked"!
'Crimson Gold' is a magnificent combination of deep, bright red outlined in glittering gold. Every leaf is an individual masterpiece, and a large planting of 'Crimson Gold' is an unforgettable sight!
This plant reaches 24 to 26 inches high and spreads up to 24 inches wide. As with all Coleus, it makes a splendid houseplant as well as an outdoor choice, and is adaptable to garden or container. What a great choice for a combination planting!
'Crimson Gold' will eventually flower, but the bloomstalks can be pinched off at once to avoid detracting from the beauty of the foliage. (They make good filler in large bouquets.) Expect it to continue its vigorous, healthy growth all summer and until the first hard frost of fall. It also makes a great houseplant, either in full or indirect light. All this Coleus asks is well-drained soil; it dislikes too much fertilizer, making it even easier to keep up with!
'Crimson Gold' is only one of the splendid Versa colors. Try super-petite 'Green Halo,' changeable 'Burgundy to Green,' golden-green 'Lime,' and cherry-red 'Watermelon' for further inspiration. Or you could yield to the inevitable and get the mix of all 6! They are ready just 11 weeks from sowing, and you'll start seeing their bright, unusual color combinations from the moment the tiny leaves open! Pkt is 15 pelleted seeds.
