The 16th of each month (the day after Gardeners' Bloom Day) is for spotlighting foliage plants.

They are very easy to grow, and thrive in shady areas.
To propagate Coleus cut off a few stems, put them in water, and they readily root, giving you new plants in a week or two.
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteOh I remember coleus -- they did well way back when we gardened in Oregon (shady, damp), but I'd kind of forgotten them. Yours are some of the loveliest.

...coleus have come long ways over the years.
ReplyDeleteI love Coleus. I even pinch off the tops sometimes and bury them deep into the soil in my pots to start new ones. They form new roots pretty quickly under ideal conditions. You have some nifty varieties there!
ReplyDeleteHello, I love these colorful leaves, a beautiful plant. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThey are a beautiful plant! I always grow them!
ReplyDeleteThey're great! I really suck at planting my plants always die.
ReplyDeleteGood tip about growing your own coleus supplies! It does have such lovely foliage.
