You're not dumb at all! PrairieGirlZ, coleus and caladium are probably the easiest plants we grow. When the nurseries start getting them in you need to pick up a couple. I have mostly full sun here and they do fine, even though they will also do well in shade. They will grow large, or you can keep them cut back. Just snip off a piece about 5"-6" and stick it in water. It will have roots in less than a week and then you can just pot it up. (I've even just stuck the cutting in soil and they root) Just remember to keep them pinched and they will bush out! And I make sure that I pinch the seeds off. I want the plant using all it's energy for beauty, not seeds!

Make sure you visit the Coleus Forum in a month or so....it will be buzzing like crazy!
