There are so many varieties. I have another one that I also bought last weekend. It is the reverse of this plant. Here's a photo of it.

Wow to both of those, they add just great pizazz to a garden.
What is that ruffledy edge one at the bottom. Is that edge a standard trait of a wizard?
Your camera takes fantastic pictures.

I'm assuming the purple in the middle of both pics is pollen, but I truly don't know. I also don't know the name of the plant in the second picture. No tags were present when I bought it. My knowledge of coleus extends about as far as my likes and dislikes. It's not a plant I have spent a great deal of time learning about thus far.
