Yes, I have that one. Very pretty. I'm getting Carrot Cake thanks to your pictures. I need to get this order finalized before they run out of some varieties. Funny how one day your think yes then in a few days you look over the list and think, what was I thinking.

I always thought I was focused until I started gardening with zest.I cant seem to settle on a few faves.
I do like the dark ones.

Here's my order Big Grin
Honey Crisp
Vino
Abigail
Blackberry Waffles
Carrot Cake
Trailing Lava Rose
Flamingo
Juicy Lucy
Limon Blush
Othello
Watermelon
Peachy Keen
Florida Inferno

I like the dark ones too! I have had Blackberry Waffles and Othello before but they seem to be harder to take cuttings from. They start of good but seem to die, maybe because they are so dark.
I had a few of the under the Sea coleus last year, really liked them but was always picking the blooms off. I took cuttings but when they are in their winter colors it is hard to tell who they are.

As far as cuttings go ,not all coleus are created equal.I have no luck with Sedona,Dr Wu, and certain trailers.
Your list looks great
I ordered Trailing Lava Rose too.Its new this year.I cant wait to see how it does.

Nope,I tried 2 years in a row. The cuttings were never robust as some varieties and continued to fail when planted outside.

I have good luck with cuttings on Sedona and it's one of my favorites. I have a few cuttings under lights of it right now and hoping to get a few more cuttings of these.

I expect everyone commented on it and they got lazy.It was a very long name.
I never feed my cuttings and have no idea of one should.They seem to be in a state of semi growth duering the winter and come on in March.It is important to keep pinching them to keep them bushy.

Those are gorgeous combos. Our nights are so cool in the spring that sometimes it's been July when I put the coleus outside. Last year I seeded some and planted them in a hanging bag. Those did really well until the hail wiped them out.

I always put a couple of beads of slow release in the bottom of my cuttings.. like JoAnn I think they are growing slowly anyway.. just figured it wouldn't hurt
