Coleus "Spit Fire" (4.5")

Spitfire Coleus – 4.5 Inch

Fiery flair. Compact charm. A bold spark in any shady spot.

Spitfire Coleus lives up to its name—its vivid, flame-like foliage brings a burst of energy to containers, garden beds, and porch pots alike. With narrow, serrated leaves in fiery red, copper, and golden green, this compact variety adds movement and warmth to your garden designs without overwhelming the space.

Perfect for smaller arrangements or as a colorful accent in larger combinations, Spitfire holds its shape beautifully and keeps its color strong from spring to frost. It’s a natural choice for those who want something bold but refined—a spark of personality with plenty of garden grace.

Best Grown In:

• Part Sun to Shade: Bright, indirect light or morning sun brings out the best color

• Moist, Well-Drained Soil: Keep evenly moist, especially in containers

• USDA Zones 10–11: Annual in most zones; overwinter indoors if desired

• Garden Style: Great in porch pots, accent containers, and colorful mixed borders

Care with Spark:

• Water regularly to support vibrant, healthy growth

• Pinch back tips to maintain a full, tidy shape

• Fertilize every few weeks during the growing season

• Move indoors before first frost for continued color

At Wrights Market, we love Spitfire Coleus for the way it adds energy and warmth to any garden nook. It’s playful and bold, yet still perfectly polished—a little firecracker of a plant that brings joy and color in every leaf.

Pair it with deep greens, silvery foliage, or blush blooms for a container that feels fresh, inviting, and full of personality.
