Planting And Care

Where the growing season is long, pinch the tips of the stems regularly to encourage branching and compact growth. When growing coleus, keep in mind that these beauties can grow rapidly. Plant coleus closes together as bedding plants or tucks them into baskets and containers for a fast growing and spectacular addition. Another factor in coleus care is overwintering, as these plants, which are considered tender annuals, are highly susceptible to cold temperatures.
