That is very pretty! Those kinds of decisions are tough.

I usually make a last minute decision to take them in. And usually it's too late and they've already suffered a little cold. I won't do that this year.

I find myself doing something similar, but probably a lot worse. It usually starts peacefully, carrying individual plants, carefully placing them, turn a little bit, pick off an imperfect leaf, admire, repeat, repeat, repeat... a few hours later, look at the clock, look at the forecast, and I turn into a Tasmanian Devil with scissors, chopping off every good looking stem I can find and grouping them into jars to separate later, piling stuff on the washing machine, kitchen counter, husband is in the bathroom asking "can I move this stuff to take a shower?" and son calling out from his room, "I can't close the curtain with these plants in the way." I admit, I have frost issues. Definite issues.

Frost issues. Yes. That is the perfect name.

: )

I brought mine in before all the rain started and temps dropped into mid 40s.
I'll cut it later, but at least the tops will be good. My bathrooms are plugged with plants and i am spraying ev day. But a bunch is still out for a couple of weeks, the hardier ones.
Loretta, you can just cut a few tips for insurance : they are too pretty ! Make a little bouquet for the table.

Some I picked up this year, I know one is Wicked but I will have to check the names tomorrow. These aren't the only ones I picked up but I definitely cut back this year.

Great combination!

Brought them in after all.

Plus a couple more.

Cute!

Thanks. I need my counter back though. I am not sure where they are going to go. I wonder if I can fit another light setup in my basement.

Coleusville will be soon set up on my plant rack, once I get my lights set up

My lil coleus started from cuttings last year are still outside. Some fall leaf color showing in the background. Hop vines have yellowed , hydrangeas left out are Turing a fall pink and the dogwoods orange/yellow. Will take cuttings soon.

Thanks Sharon! (I thought I posted a reply - sorry!)

Beautiful, Bea! Wonderful!

Mine are nuttin special, just plain ole coleus, i've had the mother plant several years. It got leggy at the end of the summer an i cut it back an made cuttins.

Just an update.
My dug-up and potted coleus seedling is doing well indoor.
So much so that I have also managed to collect a bagful of seeds from it. I am keeping those in the fridge, will try them next year.

The cuttings (only made 2) from it also seem to have rooted.

So, since I am more confident it will live on, I have decided to call it...
"Chainsaw Accident":

LOL! I love it, and the name. Best luck with it. : )

Already Shiny Shoes and Fishnet Stockings are biting the dust. Those two never survive for me.
I like them, Phil. I always like the type with colorful veins and cream coloring. Those have both.

Fishnet never survived long term. for me either.
