The coleus order is all set. I may change some of the annuals but these are pretty much done.

Jo Ann, what eye candy those combos are.
I particularly love the Sage 'Golden Delicious' and the Coleus 'Trailing Red' and Trailing Black'

Thanks to you and and some other here, I had a great time with my three coleus plants that I tried. They stayed beautiful until killing frost.
I am definitely grow coleus next year.

Were do you get your coleus from?

I order from Roey Dawn. Very good plants and genius packing.

Thank you Jo Ann, I bookmarked the site so I can find it to place an order.

I have found many favorites on that site. The homepage has a lot of information as to sun tollerant verieties and even combos.

It's a great site, I've been browsing around it. Makes me want way more than I can plant or take care of.

I guess the "buy more than I have room for" is a gardeners disease. I sure have it.

I panic.The little voice inside says" maybe one will die,maybe no one else will come for the rest and they will be neglected, maybe I dont want anyone else to have them"

I have 17 on my list. Need to get that down to like 10. I have a bunch in the greehouse too.

Oh my goodness. Now I will have to go look all of them up.

Well I have been going through the Rosy Dawn coleus site.

Here are a few that I really liked. Will have to look at more when I have time.

Some of those look like old friends,Sedona at the far right ,I'm not sure which deep purple leaf that one is but Mahogany Giant is still a fave here,it gets really big.,Lord Voldemort is beautiful but it's not fabulous here,might not be humid enough,I have tried it and would again.
The yellow edged red one could be Fiesta ,it was a great plant.
Now that I have enlarged the photo I realize I am 100% wrong on any id's I tried. The trailing ones do well.I ordered Tr.Red.

I forgot to put the names of the three bottom ones.

Brilliancy


Black Beauty


Saturn's Rings



But I also found these interesting:
Atlas


Copper-glow


Crimson Velvet


Eric The Red


Felix


Gay's Delight


Trailing Black



I'm going back to Al's in Woodburn in the spring to see if they have Redhead. I fell in love with it last year. It did so well for me.

Oh c'mon guys! I wasn't going to order any this year. Now I want Gay's Delight and Saturn's Rings. I need to quit hanging around with you folks. Jo is bad enough, but now Lynn!, and now probably Springcolor will post what she's getting. Geesh!

Alright, going to Rosy Dawn.

It's more fun with company, lots of company. Spring will be so much fun comparing how our coleus are coming along.

It really is, isn't it. And there is such good company on here.
