You truly have gorgeous gardens … Coleus is indeed a beautiful plant; grew them at our old home. Loved them as well.

Lovely coleus! What’s the secret? I pinch off the flower stalks on my coleus, but they never get full and bushy like your lovely plants.

Love the coleus. Now I must go talk to my coleus babies and coax them on and tell them to grow big like Louises’

I love the color of your coleus. I have many colors. Queenbee…I just remember to water mine and keep them in the shade then they will get bushy. Keep pinching too unless you want seed for next year. I wonder if mine cross pollinate??? Can’t wait to see what color I have this year.

Louise love your garden.

QueenBee really no big secret I just keep them fertilized and give them plenty of water, I also pinch off the flowers but the main reason I take them off is because there ugly compared to leaves. I also at the beginning of the season worked plenty of compost into my beds and in my pots. I’m sure they enjoy that.
