Kathy, I think coleus is one of those "shade" myths in this area. Mine in the shade just sit there, but the ones in the sun, as long as I give them enough water, just thrive. I have come to the conclusion that heat rather than light is they key... they like it warm. I have not seen the peach thunbergia, but I can imagine that it would be lovely. I like the Superstar Orange, and I have already started mine in the greenhouse so that they will bloom earlier.

Susybell, I totally agree about callibrochia! And the pots that you posted are just to die for! I think that you may find that particular combo in several PNW yards this summer!

I like the sweet potato vines in pots, especially the purple (and fyi it is easy from cuttings....), love the cupheas, tuberous begonias, swan river daisy.... Will have to keep in mind what else does well for me.

It is fun to be dreaming of summer!
