Thanks Belinda, but would you believe that there are red streaks on the otherside in a more yellow leaves...sorta goofy....LOL

That is one cool coleus. Is it trailing or just sprawling?

It new, a couple of weeks in the ground. When I got it, it was at least 18" tall. I planted it and it's tending to lay down....Hehehe...I looked at it last night and I think will sprawl....to trail, i think it's to tall now. There is a lot of lower growth coming. The nursery had it in fulllllll sun but I have a late afternoon shade for it. It has lost some of it's gold, turning more green now. Will take a cutting and put it out back where is gets sun from noon on. I'll see what it does there. Still a pretty little one any-which-way...
Thanks, okie
