Color without flowers

I am just learning to use coleus and variegated plants for color where there is a lot of shade.
This bed is growing by leaps and bounds.

Love this Combo!that little dark cutie in front is interesting,what is it?

Thanks rootdoctor- it is a coleus-don't know name.

Very nice Barb.

I have seen the likes of that little dark coleus. I hope you *really* like it. If it goes to seed, you will have it by the 1000s! I have no idea what it is called, but it does look very nice in your garden.

Butterfly, could it be because of your zone that it becomes "invasive." I am in zone 8.

Just lovely Barb. You really do have the design touch.

The dark one looks like Coleus Ducksfoot Dark Red.

Could the dark culprit actually have been perilla? That is a thug even in z.6. Luckily I like it. LOL

Barb that is beautiful!!

Thanks everyone. I am rather proud of the hard work that has gone into that bed. Have been working on it for 2 years.

I know there is a collection of coleus, called The Stained glass series...try some of them..what a wonderful photo Bward...........Elaine

You are a fast learner Barb! so nice.
