Professional Growing Information Beautiful coleus, very vigorous. In a pot it got large full and heavy. Wind snapped it off just above dirt level and it started over again. My solution was to plant it in a smaller plastic pot which I put down into a larger ceramic pot. The weight of the pot and the support of the sides of the pot kept the coleus safe from breakage. I ordered from PW web site. My local nursery offers no name coleus that underperform PW coleus. It was worth the expense. It was particularly worth the investment during the pandemic. My front street garden was frequented by many who came by daily and stood in the street to absorb the beauty.

Colorful chartreuse foliage with red veins. It performs well in both sun and shade, as long as there is reasonable humidity. In very low humidity environments, it will need afternoon shade.

Maintenance Notes:Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. We have worked hard to choose coleus that bloom late in the season or not at all. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.
Rules of Thumb for Overwintering Plants Indoors:
1. Choose only healthy plants
2. Bring Plants indoors before frost damages foliage
3. Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors
4. Place in bright areas and add humidity using pebble trays or spray bottles
5. Be careful not to over water
6 When active growth starts in spring fertilize and prune as needed
7. Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
