Hello, Coleus 69 and everybody who participated in this thread!
I am just curious how your
plants are doing. I also grew coleus from
seeds this
spring. And it was my first successful experiment with
growing plants on our balcony. They are doing very well, although they are not too tall. I can hardly keep up with pinching their
flowers.
However, I do have a question about their coloring. I bought a packet which just said "rainbow mix" on it (the same as yours, Coleus 69)no Latin name, but all my
plants are pretty much the same: dark purplish with w dark pink streak in the middle and a green edge; there are a couple just green ones, and two reddish ones. Not that they are not beautiful but it is not the same striking "rainbow" of colors that I saw in a botanical garden where I fell in love with this
plant.
SO I was wondering whether this relative monotony of coloring is due to my inadequate care or if it has to do with the type of coleus.
thank you all,
t.
