    Love them Bethie, they are one of my favorite foliage plants. The chartreuse is stunning, mine is a little different, it has the darker color on the edges.

    They're gorgoius! I'm wild for Coleus, too.
    That last one, unless I'm mistaken, is a cultivar called "Saturn",
    definitely one of my all time faves. :-D

    The one your hubby picked up looks like another one I adore,
    called "Careless Love" (though yours has more yellow than mine).
    8) Isn't that the greatest name? Kinda sounds like
    the breeder got something they weren't expecting. :oops:

    I have about 40 rooted cuttings from last year,
    I've been adding them to a few beds and mixed planters just this past week. :D

    They are all gorgeous but my favorite is the chartruese. I have planted them different years but didn't last year. Should get some this year especially if I can find that chartruese.

    Zuzu that is a great name "careless love" but more like "sneaky love" on hubby's part. Why he thought I wouldn't like it Is a mystery. Have I ever met a plant I didn't like? :rolleyes:

    Those are all really nice Bethie. I haven't grown Coleus for years. What kind of light does it like? Maybe I'll get some this year.
