I'm so glad you found that tag! There are over 2,000 named Coleus cultivars, and they make a ton of new ones every year. Really cool, but dangerous for the obsession-susceptible. I also like knowing the names of my plants, but am trying to get over that, especially for Coleus, because it just doesn't matter and clogs up my brain. I don't think I'll accidentally buy the same thing twice and if I do, I deserve it 'cuz obviously I really like it and some part of me knows the yard needs MORE! But who was taking macro pics of the labels last week "to get the names right?" Oh well, the first step is admitting you have a problem...

If you were still wondering what to call it, I was going to suggest Kermit.

Love the "Coleus Jade." Tag on this said "Florida Sun Jade."

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
