Some more photos from today. It is looking a bit bare in some places. I am cleaning the apple mint out, which just has taken over in some places.

I went to my favorite nursery today, and although it is too early to plant here I did pick up a few items.
Also they have put aside some Coleus and begonias for me which I can pick up after Mother's day to safely plant.
At least I don't have to worry much about cold weather by then, although the hail is another concern.

Her is what they are holding for me.

6 - Dragonwing Red Begonias
2 -" Coleus Lifelime
3 -" Coleus Roaring Fire
8 “Versa Green Halo”
3 …??? deep purple wih a edge of green
2 .. fishnet stockings

I am hoping to find Alabama Sunset but no luck. Maybe I will look for it online again.

Marilyn: Thats a great list. I wish my nursery would set aside plants for me, on the other hand I have never asked.
Alabama Sunset might be available on RosyDawn.
Fishnet Stockings has never been great in my area Z6a

Lots of nice ones Gleni. Do you know the name of the one that looks like eyes following you? Very different.

I took lots of cuttings last fall and over the winter took cuttings from many of the cuttings as they got leggy. Didn't really plan to add many new ones this year, but after hitting 4 gardens centers today, I ended up with some new ones.

Spitfire

Under the Sea Bone Fish

Keystone Kooper, many be even brighter than Sedona

Indian Summer, I noticed this one has many different looks in the database.

Meandering Linda, one I've grown before and love.

Chocolate Covered Cherry

This one didn't include a name. Anyone know what it is?

No I don't Susan. But I will try and find the man from whose garden I got the cutting.

I took all my coleus cuttings outside yesterday and got them potted up. Still have about 4 flats of cuttings left, but have some friends that what some. Today I walked over to a near by garden center and came home with 4 new ones. Guess I'm just addicted.

I am so jealous. It needs about 2 more weeks here before we can plant.
You also have more containers than I do.

Its going to look fantastic by June

Loved the dreams. I can only get generic coleus from the nurseries here. Painful.

Thanks. This is the first year I've been able to find the newest coleus locally. I just love the Two Dream too.

I saw a few at the NJ gardens sale.. almost fell down that they had a few nice ones.. red head being one of them.. nothing more aggravating walking over to where they have the coleus and only see wizards Glen.. most of our nurseries are like that too

Lol. I have managed to buy four named cultivars. Fingers crossed they are correctly named.

WASABI. HENNA.
