PF is Plant Files on the other garden site.
I was on it a lot to find true colors of plants and blooms,also to see what size and shape a plant was with respect to other plants around it.
As we know the bloom colors on a vendors website are sometimes altered.
I am submitting as many photos as I can find to ATP database remembering how important the info is to newbies.
Our database is new but I am finding just as many blank spots on the other site as we haveon our new site.
PF is really important because it will give a lot of info. plus a photo,ATP is the same .We need to submit as many plants as we can to ATP database.
Its a great resource for people who want to research.

Hello, this is my first time in the Coleus forum. I have started Coleus from seeds several years ago. If I remember correctly, it was pretty easy to get started from seed. Have anyone started any Cloeus from seed inside?

Yes, they're easy from seed. Just very slow growing at first. It takes a good 6 weeks before they really get to a decent size.

Thanks I'm starting Coleus and Amaranthus from seed. Both seem to be moving slowly. LoL

Gold Giant
Mahogany Giant
Jungle Love
Caladium Florida Red Ruffles
