Fairway Mosaic features dramatic lemon<strong>-green foliage<\/strong> with <strong>unique patterns of burgundy stripes and yellow venation<\/strong> \u2014 a color combination that is immediately distinctive and unlike most standard coleus color schemes which tend toward red and green contrasts.<\/p>\n<p>The lemon-green base color of Fairway Mosaic&#8217;s leaves glows with an almost luminous quality, particularly effective in shaded positions where the bright chartreuse tones stand out against darker surrounding foliage. The burgundy stripe pattern and contrasting yellow venation overlay this bright ground color with fine, intricate detail that gives each leaf a genuine mosaic quality \u2014 complex, multi-layered, and visually rich at close inspection.<\/p>\n<p>Fairway Mosaic reaches just <strong>20 cm<\/strong> in height with a spread of approximately <strong>25 cm<\/strong>, growing in a neat, mounded habit. This extra-dwarf scale makes it perfectly suited to applications where standard 45\u201365 cm coleus varieties would be disproportionate \u2014 front-of-<strong>border edging<\/strong>, <strong>small individual pots<\/strong>, <strong>window box fillers<\/strong>, and <strong>low massed plantings<\/strong> where a continuous carpet of color and pattern is desired.<\/p>\n<p>Coleus is a <strong>heat-loving<\/strong> tropical perennial that thrives in the warm, humid environment that resembles its native habitat in Africa and Southeast Asia, making it naturally well-suited to Gulf conditions. The extra-dwarf compact habit of Fairway Mosaic makes it particularly practical in Gulf container growing \u2014 the smaller plant size means less watering stress compared to large-leafed standard coleus varieties, and the mounded habit requires minimal maintenance to keep looking neat.<\/p>\n<p>Like all coleus, Fairway Mosaic performs best in shade to partial shade, though it tolerates morning sun well. In the Gulf, where afternoon summer sun is intense, a position receiving morning light and afternoon shade is ideal for the richest foliage color and healthiest growth.<\/p>\n<h3>Variety Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Variety: <strong>Fairway Mosaic<\/strong><br \/>\nSeries: <strong>Fairway<\/strong><br \/>\nScientific name: <strong>Coleus scutellarioides (syn.
