Velvety Foliage: The rich red leaves add a dramatic pop of color to shaded areas.
High Contrast: Bright green edges make the red tones even more vivid, creating standout garden displays.
Easy to Grow: Coleus seeds are simple to start indoors and perform well in containers and gardens.
Versatile Uses: Ideal for mixed containers, patio pots, hanging baskets, or mass plantings.

Growing Coleus from Seed

Coleus is known for its ease of growth, making it a top choice for both home gardeners and professionals. Here are the key steps for success:

Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost. Place seeds on the soil surface—they need light to germinate.
Maintain Temperature & Light: Keep at 70–75°F with bright, indirect light. Germination occurs in 10–14 days.
Moisture: Keep soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.
Transplanting: Once seedlings develop true leaves and frost danger has passed, transplant outdoors into containers or shady beds.

Protect foliage from strong afternoon sun, which may fade or scorch the leaves.
Remove flower spikes to extend foliage performance throughout the season.
