It was very green when it arrived. It is in full sun, that is why it has the intense yellow color with lovely red stems and veins. What is not to love about this coleus.

Your coleus are all so very nice, I just had to go to the nursery again....

I bought a container, created my own for a start on fall

A good buy plus 25 pc off plus a million buds on the mums

Hypertufa will last into fall I think

Weather is supposed to drop to the 70s next week so will feel a bit more like fall Whistling

Wait till I cover the plants up this fall to keep the bunnies out. They will really be on the rampage then Hilarious! Hilarious!

also saving mesh bags to keep them out of my bulbs too.

Deb and Chuck will put out peanuts for them though, so they won't starve.

JoAnn, so beautiful as always! I dearly love coleus and I love seeing your artistic containers in any season.

Marilyn, Wow!!!! Look at what you've created.
You had me thinking all this time that you were a novice gardener, a newbie. Now look at you!
Beautiful.

All your pots are so pretty. I am still waiting for the Asters to come out. I can usually keep those alive because they are hardy for my area. The Mums do not last the winter for me.

Thanks, Sharon, I have always had annuals of one sort of another, never really bothered to learn much about them.

With the help of ATP I am slowly learning a bit more

Oh I just remembered, it was Tagawa's.. I bought something else at Timberline and did not like it in the planter.
So I went closer to home and replaced it. I was over there a few days ago, and I don't think they still have it.

I think it is Coleus Wizard Jade based on looking at all the various web sites and comparing it.

I may order some seeds for next year. It is a really nice accent .
