Coleus Main Street Beale Street

The Award-Winning "True Red" That Never Fades

Meet the first-ever coleus to be named an All-America Selections (AAS) Winner. Part of the celebrated Main Street Series, 'Beale Street' is a horticultural breakthrough, offering a rich, deep burgundy-red foliage that maintains its intensity from the first day of spring until the first frost of autumn.

Unlike older varieties that bleach or scorch in the heat, 'Beale Street' was trialed across North America and proven to be the only true red coleus that is fully sun-tolerant. Whether it’s soaking up the midday rays or tucked into a shady corner, this plant stays lush, vibrant, and uniform.

Why You’ll Love It

• Sun & Shade Versatility: Thrives anywhere from full sun to full shade, making it the perfect "bridge" plant to tie your entire landscape design together.

• Late to Bloom: Naturally bred to flower up to 6 weeks later than other varieties, meaning the plant puts all its energy into stunning foliage rather than leggy seed stalks.

• Low Maintenance: Naturally well-branched and bushy; no constant pinching required to keep its tidy, upright habit.

• Deer Resistant: While pollinators love the occasional late-season blue flower spikes, deer typically leave this beauty alone.

Landscape & Styling Tips

'Beale Street' is a "little black dress" for your garden—it goes with everything. Use it as a bold "Thriller" in large patio containers, or plant it en masse for a dramatic, crimson border. It also pairs beautifully with chartreuse foliage like Sweet Potato Vine or lime-colored Hostas for a high-contrast look.

Pro Tip: For the best results, wait until night temperatures are reliably above 60°F before planting outdoors.
