This is the third summer for this plant, I overwintered cuttings in water on my kitchen counter. It's a hardy lush summer container plant, and in spite of the hot dry weather, it does very well with minimal watering here in zone 6/7. I'm going to try for a fourth summer, I think it will be just fine.

I've grown Coleus 'Christmas Candy' once so far, but it's a new favorite of mine because of the bright colorful leaves. I loved the colors of the leaves on the plant that year. The time I grew it I planted it in a container with a few other Coleus plants and placed it with morning sun and afternoon shade. I'd love to get it and grow it again and give it the same lighting that it had before, so I'd get the same colors on the leaves. But, this time I'd grow it in a container by itself so I could enjoy all the leaves. It's a beautiful Coleus and seems to stay smaller and shorter than some of the Coleuses that get big and tall.
