Coleus Main Street® Beale Street (Coleus scutellarioides ‘Main Street® Beale Street’)

Coleus Main Street® Beale Street (Coleus scutellarioides ‘Main Street® Beale Street’) is an award-winning foliage plant celebrated for its brilliant red leaves, vigorous growth, and outstanding garden performance. Named after the famous Beale Street in Memphis, this striking coleus delivers bold colour from spring until frost without relying on flowers, making it an exceptional choice for containers, landscape beds, borders, and mixed plantings.

The large leaves display intense shades of deep red and burgundy that maintain their vibrant colour throughout the growing season. Unlike many older coleus varieties, Beale Street holds its colour exceptionally well in both sun and partial shade, creating a dramatic focal point wherever it is planted. Its rich foliage pairs beautifully with chartreuse plants, silver foliage, ornamental grasses, and flowering annuals.

Main Street® Beale Street develops a vigorous, well-branched habit that quickly fills containers and landscape spaces. The lush foliage creates a full, mounded appearance that provides continuous visual interest and texture. Its strong performance and adaptability make it a favourite for gardeners seeking reliable season-long colour with minimal maintenance.

In Alberta, Main Street® Beale Street performs exceptionally well as a summer annual, bringing bold foliage colour and tropical appeal to patios, gardens, and outdoor living spaces.
