I have propogated one too many cuttings. Oooops! I would like to trade this one. Carol so nicely sent me one and I start pinching on it, and they all rooted. This is a little guy but growing rapidly.
Thanks for looking!
CLOSED: Have: Kong Coleus ..See Pic
Kim, Am glad to see that it is still growing good.
Did any of the other coleus make it? Mine still are struggling but because it has been so cold and wet here in Oregon.
Carol
Yes they made it! I have coleus everywhere now! LOL
kim,
If you don't find anyone to trade with...I will gladly pay postage..LKM
Char :o)
OK Kimmie,
Do you have Kong Mosaic?
You mean...is this Kong Mosaic?
Picture?
All I know is it's a Kong...LOL
I mean do you grow Kong Mosiac or trade for some cuttings it if you don't?
That's an empty 6 in pot for leaf size comparison.

Jan, I'm confused..Also I haven't been understaning the English Language today very well!! Can barely type it or spell it today either...LOL LOL. Whatever you're trying to ask/tell me..I'm confused. But one thing I'm not confused about is...
I NEED that one in you pic!! So what does Kimmie have to do to get a piece????
Well, my typing isn't too great today either. This is my Kong Mosiac and I think there are some side shoots large enough to root, I'll send them with the curcuma and maybe you can see me a cutting of your kong when you send back the Monarda. Whew!
I work for the local conservatory & botanical garden (Phipps), and we have been trying to find Kong coleus for one of our upcoming flower shows. We have had a rotten time trying to get our hands on it! I finally found a few Kong Green at a local place, but it is a VERY elusive series it seems! And the green is the most boring one... If anyone has extras, I will try really hard to come up with a trade!
Amy
Carol, if you're still out there..Tell us about this Kong...LOL How big will it get, anything special we need to know?
Jan, I will send you one like the picture. I don't have cuttings. These are all rooted. When I got the Momma from Carol I made 4 new plants and shared the original piece with someone else. Talk about recycling huh? LOL
Amy, There is Large Kong Koleus at the Farmers market I go to every Friday. i think they're $4.00 much bigger then the one I'm offering. Different color too. Send me an email. we'll talk and I can pick one up for you..
Whew...I think that does it!
Kim.
Momma passed away and so did her little seedlings friends. Guess she just didn't like me.
Blessings,
Sandy
Hey Kim,
I sent you the tag for what I had gotten.
I just looked at my tag. It says coleus x hybridum, Kong mix, 18-22" high. It also says sun or shade but who knows.
Why? Is it getting huge? Mine is still only about 5" high.
Sent me a picture of the big guy then.
Carol
OMG! Sandy! I'll find you more at the farmers market.
Carol, I shared some with Sandy, in fear that hers wouldn't make it. I took cuttings and split pieces of leaves. Then gave her the roots/leaves. Even my leaf cuttings rooted!...LOL.
It says coleus x hybridum, Kong mix, 18-22" high.Oohhh I'm excited!
Mine are outside and they are taking the sun. One was growing so fast I had to change his pot and soil yesterday. He's mine!
Well I'm off to the Farmers market..I'll be back with pictures of what I've found...he he he.
My Lowes had a bunch when I was there but I didn't check the prices.
Probably 3-4 different colors
Carol, Here's one that rooted from a leaf. I just took him out a 2 inch pot and put it in a 9 inch pot.
Kim, I have a trailing Lava Rose, or a Kong Mosiac I would gladly trade for. Yours looks like Rose Kong to me, and I really want one of those.
How far are you from Pittsburgh??
Janis
My, Kim, you sure must have magic fingers!
They look so happy!
Am glad that they worked out. I will take a picture of mine to show you how they are doing.
Carol
Janis, A couple hours from Pittsburgh. I'll see what I have when I get back home. Talk soon
Kim, don't worry about it. I am not. Yours look great.
Sandy
Kim - Thanks for the offer. I will send you an email shortly. And I had NO idea you could root from the leaf. You really are talented!
And hey - if you guys end up in Pittsburgh for a coleus swap, you are welcome to have it at my house! (For the price of one Kong Mosaic...) heehee.
Amy
LOL Amy, I got Kong Mosaic.... and I'm only about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh :)
So ..... whay ya got to trade?
*smiles*
Janis
Well ladies...I didn't see 1 coleus at the farmers market. Actually it was pretty pitiful today. They didn't have much of anything.
Oh no Kim.... I found 3, but only bought one, and the other 2 were huge, and the vendor pinched me off a piece of one of them (she had them in large pots, with other plants, for very high prices) I didn't want to push my luck and ask for a piece of both LOL
I'm going back this week I think.
Janis
I bought this one last week. These are also kong?
Kaleem
Janis - you have dmail!
How many are in the Kong series? I have two with light green, yellow and pink on the leaves. It is new to me, found them at a nursery clearance sale for $1.00!
