That is a very nice photo of a very nice coleus. I have several, outside now of course. I will take cuttings before frost to try to carry them over to next spring. Donna

This one is nice because it can be grown (easily) from seed... Nice picture!!!

I understand that pinching off flower keeps plant fuller, but I let this one bloom to try and gather seeds.The contrast in the leaves realy makes the plant stand out.
