I just started growing Coleus a couple years ago and am hooked ! They do well here in Arizona in pots and provide the color we have so little of . Loved your article and the photos.

Thanks Linda. Aren't they wonderful plants! Their foliage is every bit as pretty as a flower. Glad to hear they do well there too.

Chris,
I loved your article and I have serious coleus envy!
I first was introduced to it when I managed a flower shop in northern Oklahoma. I kept it indoors as a house plant.
Now, in Phoenix, I keep it protected in pots under the shade where they get small amounts of morning sun. I also have 5 pots in my bedroom all winter and they need trimming back but they love it there.

THANK YOU Chris!!!

Thanks Becky! Other than the standard/topiary I made, I haven't kept any as houseplants. No room I guess. Didn't know you had managed a flower shop - how fun!

Chris, I managed two which is how I began my love of coleus!

Very cool! I think I'd spend half my paycheck in the store I worked at.

Just had a chance to read your article. Very timely, as I have a window sill full of over-wintered cuttings I should get into pots. I'll snip the tops off and pot 'em up today. Nice article to refer back to!

Thanks Sandi! Fun to be able to overwinter them, isn't it!
