Do you remember what the word coleus used to conjure up in past years? Well, I do, these rust, burgundy, green combinations of leaves that you planted in the shade. I think I put them in one year and then decided that this was not my type of plant.
Indian Summer
Wow, have things changed! Coleus is a temptress, a mood changer, and a vibrant plant in the garden. How often do we get a plant that can grow in sun or shade? I am having trouble keeping up with the varieties and apologize ahead of time if I miss one or two.

Pineapple Splash
This variety had sufferred frost damage and very slowly is coming back, but I don't think it is going to reach full potential - tag thrown out with the other one that died.
Electric Lime
I have only had a problem with one that I have grown in the past Sedona. It is usually a very prolific coleus for the sun but this year I think it got a bug, stunted eaten leaves. I sprayed it, fed it a systemic and I think it is on its way back but late to be a beauty.

Inky Fingers that I have grown for years can spread six to eight feet!
