The Darkness series!

I made my own hybrid Coleus, these are the ones that turn completely dark from one of the many batches I planted this season! Some show great traits from both parents. Names ideas are welcome 😁, something Dark Tho!

Help me save my coleus!

I am a first time coleus grower and I love the variety of this plant. I decided this year to plant coleus in an attached flower box for in front of my house. It been a few months stance the wee first planted and they were no larger than about 8 inches. They have done really well with some getting up to 3 feet tall but I am running into a major issue that is hitting the am at the same time. In the past week they seem to all be breaking or snapping or just lifting right out of the soil. They look so healthy otherwise. So am I missing something? Should I be doing something to keep this from happening? Please someone help me save them.

Continuing the Blah awards post, here is mine. I just love the crisp serrated edge on the long, sharp leaf shape. I’d love to see if its seeds are plain or not.

And the BLAH award goes to...

Yesterday my son told me this is my most boring one, due to the solid green. I love this because it's like velvet, and has a slight touch of anthocyanin on the midrib.

Let's see your "boring" coleus.

Coleus “wild lime”

I been looking for this variety for years. It’s mostly only sold in the US and none of the growers ship to Europe. Does anyone by chance knows a grower who’s willing to send to Denmark? I am really in love with it and I have searched google and Instagram for years! 😔🪷

How can i reduce water needs of coleus?

like gawd damn, im probabaly gonna get written up by the government for my water usage. Ive already put coco fibers on the soil so the water doesnt evaporate to fast, but what else can i do?

are there coleus variants that dont require a lot of watering? theyre amazing looking plants, but jesus, do they have like 100 kidneys in them

Here's something special!

I was buzzing close to my flowers this morning. This is what I saw, I also learned a lot. I thought I'd share the scene! ( This is what tiny Coleus flower looks like up close!)

Three Coleus I overwintered!

These are three of my favorite selections from last season that I have decided to keep. I call them, Massacre, Electric Flamingo, and Rosy Road in that order!

My ' Rasta ' Coleus

This is another of my own selections, I named this one ' Rasta ' because of the Color combination that reminds me of the Jamaican flag.
