Brinda and all,
I didn't know you all had been ordering this way for a few years. I'm so glad you have the experience so we can avoid selections that are too tiny, or problematic. That really reassures me! I would also like to hear (maybe that's another thread?) which rooting techniques worked the best. In the past I've used lots of sun coleus in planters, but last year I put some in the ground and Wowzers! My head's spinnin with ideas for this year.
So...if any I requested are bad choices, just cross them off! I defer to your collective wisdom! Thanks,
Cindi

Cindi, have you looked at Allison's diary at DG where she's rooted all these cuttings?

Since the co-op is full, let's vote for what we want to do. Do we want to add 5 more varieties to this and get a total of 25? It works for me... I did the math and it will add a bit less than $5.00 to the total posted above.

Everyone chime in and let me know your wishes....

In the meantime, I'll go over to facebook and pull Pheadra off of Farmville so we can get her vote too. lol

Hurray! Hi Debbie Hurray!
I would love to see Bright Ruffles and Hot Lava added.
And about the only one I'm not too anxious to have is Rustic Orange.
How did they improve it?
But I'll take what ever I get and I'm sure they won't go to waste.
Another 5 won't hurt me a bit.
Thumbs up

I've had wonderful success rooting these in new potting mix.
I detest soil-less mix as if it gets dry it will suck the moisture out of the plant and has to be set in a pan of water to re-wet it.
When they grew, they were ever so easy to step up to a larger pot.
They do root very quickly.
