Morning, fotv I don't think you taking a cutting from coleus was the problem, that seems to be their mo. Look really good into winter and then suddenly they die.....least for me for years. I am thinking this year I will get a heat mat and put them on there. I know they don't like cold temps at all and see if that helps. I had two make it thru the winter. One was the entire plant I dug up and in a pot., the other is one little cutting and it still isn't huge by any means but still alive.

Maybe that is red perilla coming up in my tiny flower bed. I have one little stalk of something really dark purple, and at first thought it was a coleus then remembered I hadn't bought any. Beautiul color but I will need to move it, it is in a tiny tiny flower bed.

Found a bigger pic of the black ee. Ignore the piece of iron in the pot, another story.
You can see the runners coming out of the pot and down to the ground.
