Thanks

I will keep you posted

woo hoo.. buds!!

not as blue as we thought it was but still pretty

well not really blue.. but loaded with blooms.. love it anyway

has anyone grown these before?... wondering if I should stick them in the greenhouse this weekend to extend them some.. going into the 40's this weekend at night.. can they take it?

I'd put it in the green house, or send it to Sidney in south Florida.
Sidney

I can always do some cuttings for you ..

That would be great. I'll tree mail you.
Sidney

Sidney, you are a beggar without shame!

Karen

nothing wrong with that

wow look at the color of the Plectranthus ciliatus.. I know the photos don't do it justice.. looks like neon outside

That Coleus you grew had really nice color in its flowers, Allison!

thank you.. it's a relative to coleus ... plectranthus .. I am totally in love with them

how did your cuttings do Sidney?

I wonder if you gave them more acidity would it change the color closer to blue.

I have no idea

Alison, your plectranthus is very beautiful but I don't think it is the same as the one pictured at Longwood Gardens. The flower and the leaf, from what I can see, look different. I do love the purple color though. It glows.

I agree with you.. wrong color & leaf size... there are quite a few plectranthus.. could be the grower was confused.. either way I love it.. actually all that I bought this year grew wonderfully.. and my neighbor gave me back a piece of a white flowering purple bottom leaf one that I gave her 2 years ago.. so I now have a pretty big collection.. including my fav .. mona lavender

will def. try to put a piece in the ground next year to see how it grows.. so easy from cuttings as well .. think every piece I stuck rooted ... can't beat that

A little harder than coleus though. I haven't had luck with rooting them yet.
