That plant or those plants are beautiful. I think the wheelbarrow I didn't get planted this year is going to be moved to the shade bed and filled like that next year. I have a wheelbarrow that is a mini-rose bed, one I grew potatoes in this year and one that was going to be planted but I just didn't get it done this year for some reason.
My Coleus did excellent also. I had already cut mine down once and now I have to do it again. Now they are in my greenhouse for the Winter and they are going nuts. These are the clippings. They are even getting gigantic. I have 3 of these garden benches to fill for next Spring so these new plants will be used. when they are filled I will make lots of plants just to stick around the gardens. That will be colorful. Donna S, I see your little wheelbarrow. Can't you slide it out a bit so it can be seen better?
Wow... those are doing great. I had to cut mine back the other day it was getting so leggy. I hope it will fill in and keep growing for a while longer.
Thanks all. Barb the coleus is growing in the wheelbarrow. All your seeing is the flat tire. Are you rooting cuttings in water?
Such healthy and beautifully coloured leaves. I can only grow coleus as indoor plants but would love to be able to grow them the way you do.
Why can't you grow them outside??? Just leave them in the pot that you keep in the house. Like my benches, they go in the greenhouse and out every year.
We don't have the consistency of weather to be able to keep them outside Coleus used to be the houseplant of choice everywhere when I was growing up but nowadays they seen to have fallen out of fashion with the arrival of more exotic plants and flowers,which is a pity as they have a lot to offer. Donna, those are magnificent and the largest Coleus I have ever seen I love the couple in the background looking fondly at them
