You are right about that JoAnn.

I haven't ordered yet either Karen. When I talked to Mr Glenn yesterday, he said they aren't shipping until March 16 I think. So I have plenty of time.

I saved 31 last year. They're alive but a few are rather sad. I took another tray of cuttings about a week ago. All but a few look pretty good. So as of now I should have around 60 plants if I don't kill them.

I also want to check a few local nurseries that usually grow some named, cutting grown coleus. Neither has near the selection that RD has but I should be able to find a few there and support local business, and save the shipping costs. It was a lot easier to afford RD when we got the dollar/plant discount... I might still order, might not.

I don't think the blooms are supposed to be that showy, it's the leaves. But can't wait to see it.

Every year in early spring I think I have too many planters on the deck.By late June I can see I really DO have too many planters on the deck so I spread them where I can reach with a hose.
The move - in with SIL and DD expanded my planter collection combining houses has its benefits and disadvantages.
