I would love to have a start from this beautiful coleus. This variety isn't available, or I haven't seen it, in my area. Can you send cutting for postage?

This is quite a different coleus! Very pretty and unique. I didn't know coleus ever looked like that. Thanks for posting it.

We have 3 PlantScout vendors that offer it. http://davesgarden.com/products/ps/search.php?search_text=Tilt-a-Whirl&submit=Go That should give you a good start. I'm not sure where I got mine when I had it. Good luck in your search you won't be disappointed in it. I really loved it.

Thanks so much. I'm surprised you don't still have it. Can't it be rooted by cuttings?

Yes you can do cuttings of it. I stopped trying to bring in tropicals etc to over winter. It got to be to much work.
