Lady Gardener, if you pinch coleus when they are small, 3 sets of leaves and then again when they get 2 more sets of leaves you only have to pinch them a little over the summer.

Gloria, I don't think you can root non-stops, but, I am the wrong person to ask. It is just easier to buy new ones (for me). Here in FL we use them in the winter because of the hot weather (night temps are the critical factor for most begonias).

We have our best luck with the cane and rhizome types, Pink Dragon>
