Trailing Coleus

McKinney, TX(Zone 8a)

I posted this in the Coleus forum as well but I figured I might get the info I needed here. Has anyone found any of the trailing coleus for sale. I hadn't heard of one until I saw Martha talk about them on her show. I would love to find some to try out.

Hmmm, that's a new one for me, too. Some coleus, left to its own devices, tends to slump and trail over the edge of containers, but I doubt that makes them a "trailing" coleus.

Here's a link to some other trailing coleus. They are wonderful in hanging baskets.

Thanks scoolie and Hazel, looks like I need to start asking for these! Hazel, the link you gave describes them all as sun coleus. Are there any that are for shade, that you are aware of?
