Ain't it cool? :o)

It was being commercially propagated by some wholesaler - I can't recall which one offhand, but I found it in a nursery in Clay Center, KS. Surely other nurseries are carrying it...if you can't find it, let me know and I'll check here (the wholesaler's name escapes me, but I've seen their tags at one of our local independent nurseries.)

Or I'll put you on "the list" along with Elena to see if I can propagate some cuttings.

I haven't seen it here yet but I haven't been to too many nurseries. I remember seeing a write up on the web about it. Maybe I'll get out to a couple of our local places this week. I'll let you know if I find it.

This fushia coleus is stunning. I'm going to search for it. Great with the lime green plant.

My plant had no fragrance whatsoever. The only thing different from some of the coleus was that it was safe in full sun. I kept mine in a container and it got to be over three feet tall and around.

Windy, that's true. And that's a good observation that probably should go as a comment for the plant (you'll find a link when you scroll past the other comments): http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/55780///
