Me too! We did a nice planting on the side of the house in a shady spot and it came out beautiful this year.
Very nice plantings!

I especially like the dark marbled leaf ones. I know your not suppose to let them go to flower, but I do-I like the little purple blooms too, and since their only annuals here, I figure 'whats the difference?"
I get free seedlings every year from a local nursery, so I plant them in amongst my flower beds.
Maybe I'll try taking some cuttings and wintering them over inside...

Beefy I agree with you,,,, 
coleus is wonderful for so many areas in pot, garden, flower box or border it works well every where.
:bouquet My Grammy got me hooked on planting it..
I had one just like the one you pictured it looked so lush and full......
until my ducks decided to prune it..... 
Oh Boy!!!!
But I did get bout a dozen cuttings from it first...
:happy_flower I started 4 different ones from cuttings we did at a 3 day short course I took last week at Missouri University on Greenhouse Management.. That was lots of fun too by the way..
:tools But if you have 50 differnet colors of coleus I sure would like to swap you some starts if I have any differnt than you do... :coolsun Let me know Karan
