BostonArea_6A, thanks so much for the coleus info. It was one of the first plants I experimented with after buying this house (also my first).

I had purchased a tiny flat on sale and stuck pencil-think sprigs into dusty, shady earth with barely a backward glance. I was astounded at how well they performed. They completely filled out the area within a few weeks and even tolerated some afternoon sun.

I did want blooms in my hanging containers but coleus can be very colorful in its own right.

I'll check out those links.

Meanwhile, my Snowstorm appears to be making a comeback! This basket was previously the worst looking of the bunch.
