can Coleus handle?

The local garden centre had some really nice ones that I could not leave behind. I'm thinking they'd look great in planters down my front steps. They'd get about 5 hours of afternoon/evening sun (Canadian sun ). Would that be too much? If so I could always put them on my back steps, which get morning sun up until about 1pm.

It depends on what kind they are post pictures please.

these ones:

there are a few of those that I have had in the sun before...

here is what the kingswood karnival looks like in shade
and in a sunnier spot.. maybe 3 - 4 hours worth

the others I can spot the red planet can take it.. and the rustic orange can as well

I believe they will all do well in your afternoon sun. They may want an evening drink.
