Has anybody seen the new Kong coleus? It is supposed to be huge, and came out on May 1. I think one leaf is supposed to be as big as my hand, and it does not like sun, but does fine in shade. I have only read about it, but nobody around here has it, or knows about it.
New Kong coleus
I found an artilcle about it http://msucares.com/news/print/sgnews/sg04/sg040429.html It sounds wonderful!
Wow, I have to find that one!!
Me too rooty! Now to find enough shade too! LOL
Oh my ! I need one ;-o
Thanks! this is a fascinating article.
I grew Kong and another coleus almost as large as Kong + Magilla Perrila in a part sun environment on my patio with good results. I'm going to have it again this year. It is wonderful to say the least and is a fine addition to any garden. It has had a few people peering around the corner of my patio to get a closer look. Good luck with Kong and may you have a fine gardening year!
My Wal-Mart has Kong coleus. Lvs are huge even though they are in small pots, maybe 4 1/2 inch. Just came in a few days ago.
well you know the guy that does the kong coleus comes and gets the pollen off of my coleus...LOL Yeah right...
I haven't seen anything but that post poppy put up.

They have it at Rockledge nursery in rockledge, Florida. Rockledge is right above Melbourne. I was just there two days ago. Yes, that coleus is gorgeous!
Here;'s a thread on the Kongs from the Coleus forum, they weren't exactly popular for those that tried them.

I have 3 in the greenhouse and will put them out this summer but don't think I will buy any more. They really don't perform as will as the other coleus. Then the money you have to pay for them.
