Thanks. My best guess is that I'll have 300 or more to plant there this year...after the snow is gone...if that ever happens.

So, coleus still all dead in America?
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Thanks. That's just one window. I have lots more on the porch, many rooted cuttings in the mini greenhouse and more on a plant stand at the porch door. I won't be short of them!

I can hardly wait. Some of my new cuttings are quite bushy now. I will photograph and post. But I am so waiting to see your northern hemisphere beauties.

Bushy is good! We're not shy about posting photos so you'll get to see ours (outdoors) by May/June.

I think the coleus on the right is a new cultivar. It sprung up from nowhere.

I don't know Jo Ann. I saw it in a garden late last year and knocked and asked the man living there for a cutting. He said he used to make his money selling coleus for landscaping. I will try and find him again and ask.

They are quite funny to have in the garden. You get this feeling you are being watched. You look around and these coleus eyes are watching everything you do.
