This was grown from seed but it's leaves are very large.

Very pretty

Gorgeous! Great color too! I have some big leaves on one of mine, a lime color. Will try to get a pic when I get home later.

If you starve them, never water them and grow them in too much sun they'll make smaller leaves for you, Keith. You're obviously being much too nice to it.

Hahaha!

I did take a pic this past weekend, but couldn't remember where this discussion was.

Very nice, Keith! Is that one of the Kong varieties that get tall with really big leaves? http://garden.org/plants/searc...

I have Coleus Kong 'Rose' that I bought this past spring but never planted ... the pot is still sitting out in the yard beneath a palm tree, flopping over from the weight of the stems. I noticed blooms on it earlier today and I really should trim it back and root some cuttings!

• Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides Kong™ Rose)

I grew it from unamed seed, so perhaps it was from Kong? I'm surprised mine were all the same color from seed with no variations.

Took a pic of 3 pretty big leaves today. 2 have tip of my thumb for scale but my arm's not long enough to do that for the really big leaves by the lens cap.

That is awesome.. beautiful

It is quite big. I think coleus have some of the most beautiful leaves.

Now if only they could make the flowers much larger, they would truly be breathtaking!

Then you have to get some plectranthus

Hummingbirds find the size/shape of the flowers to be just perfect! I love watching them visit every little flower on Coleus.

Yes sadly I think mine are all gone for the year.. seems right after the hurricane hit FL .. they started getting less and less daily

I grew the Giant Exhibition mix from Parks seeds this year.
Some of the leaves are the size of the palm of my hand.

It is a nice one

I found this @ WM. IDK if this is its' max leaf size or not. It's a short but very stout plant. As soon as those new lower branches get long enough to propagate, that's exactly what I'll be doing.

Suggestions about its' name welcome!



The stem is exploding with growth under the "canopy" of huge leaves @ the top.

Always love the speckled colors

I think my new one might be 'Kong Mosaic.' That's common enough to have been @ WM & fits visually.

Yeah seems HD and WM almost always have kongs and wizards
