HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring, pressing into the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. This plant can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost of spring.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers consistently moist yet well draining soil, and does not do well in either soggy or dry soil. To focus the growth on the ornamental leaves and encourage bushiness, pinch off the growing tips of the stems. This plant makes an excellent choice for borders and containers, as well as making a good house plant.
Harvesting: For fresh bouquets, strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the inconspicuous flowers fade, the tiny seeds will develop in the dried flower head. Shake the ripening plant over a container to remove the mature seed. Keep Coleus Rainbow Mix Seeds in a cool, dry place.

I love purchasing from this seller, they deliver on time. There product great, and great germination on every seedling .. will continue to purchase from this seller
Beautiful variations.
I've started several dozen of these Coleus seeds indoors for planting out next year, and as houseplants. Having never grown coleus before, I was thrilled with the ease of germination. The colors on the packs that Everwilde supplies are diverse. I have some plants with solid orange leaves, and others with a beautiful mix of green, pink and red, some that are all red, some that are red and green - it's lovely. So far, my seedlings are 6" tall and very vigorous.
I have them under grow lights which are the equivalent of full sun, and they are thriving. Even if you don't have a shady spot for them, don't count them out - they may still do well for you.
