I did not expect the Glads to grow this tall....
Not all of them are tall--many others are coming into bloom and are, maybe, 2' tall.
That is what I would like on all of them.

I planted several in my raised bed--just to fill up spaces...will see how they look.
This first red one is a mind-boggler in size...NO!....NO!...NO!!!!

One thing I wanted to show you is how large the "Carnival" Coleus can grow!
From a skinny, leggy, tall, rooted cutting--it filled out amazingly.

If anyone wants me to root cuttings of this one--as well as the "Inky Fingers"--
PLEASE let me know soon. They still have a lot of time to re-grow if I pinch off
some pieces.

--Here are 2 of them in my Kitchen bed. One on each side of the Aaron caladiums.
--and also in this pot just next to the bed. The green thing in the middle will be--
hopefully--a nice, blooming purple/white Datura. Late--I know...but they just never
germinated in time....

--And--as expected--here is the "jungle"from TWO cuttings of "Inky Fingers" Coleus.
