More About Coleus ‘Main Street Wall Street’

Coleus ‘Main Street Wall Street’ is a bold yet polished foliage plant known for its rich burgundy leaves edged in crisp chartreuse. The contrast is clean and intentional, giving this variety a refined, architectural look that works equally well in modern and traditional landscapes.

As part of the Main Street series, ‘Wall Street’ was bred specifically for sun tolerance, upright structure, and large-scale landscape performance. Unlike many dark coleus that fade or lose definition in strong sun, this selection maintains deep color and sharp margins throughout the season.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Main Street Wall Street’ has been an exceptionally reliable performer in full sun and partial shade. It grows quickly, holds its upright form without pinching, and maintains uniformity even during prolonged heat and humidity.

We especially appreciate its scale and consistency. This is a coleus that excels in mass plantings, where its uniform habit creates a clean, professional look, but it’s equally effective as a container centerpiece or bold border plant. It pairs beautifully with chartreuse coleus, grasses, and bright annual flowers.

Main Street Wall Street vs. Other Coleus

‘Wall Street’ is one of the most architectural Coleus in this group, especially when compared to looser growers like ‘Alabama’ or ‘Bonnie Gold’. Its upright, dense habit makes it behave more like a shrub-form annual, holding lines cleanly in both beds and containers. This makes it especially valuable in formal layouts or designs that rely on strong visual structure.

Within the Main Street Series, Wall Street is more restrained than ‘Beale Street’, favoring structure over color drama. Where Beale Street grabs attention, Wall Street supports surrounding plants, making it ideal as a backbone in mixed designs. Its consistency allows brighter or more complex plants to stand out without competition.

Compared to similarly sized upright varieties such as ‘Defiance’, ‘Down Town® Greenville’, and ‘FlameThrower™ Cajun Spice’, Wall Street is the most predictable. It lacks the wild color shifts of FlameThrower™ but wins on reliability and shape retention. For gardeners looking for a clean, upright coleus that provides structure, balance, and dependable performance, ‘Main Street Wall Street’ is an excellent choice.
