I believe my new addiction is Coleus. It's been roses, clematis and several other things over the years. I've grown coleus on occassion over the years. I'm just getting the coleus fever!
I would love to see the best pictures, in your own opinions, of what your best container or garden bed has been. My garden style isn't to have lots of pots clustered in one area. I would prefer to see 1 to 3 pots together at most. Not all have to be coleus. Or coleus in your garden & it's companions or full beds of just coleus in ground.
I have a few areas in mind for coleus as my yard goes from full sun to mostly sun. I want to see what wonderful designs are out there but don't want random pots clustered since that's not the design I'm going for - not that it's a bad style, just not for my areas.
I have a half circle that has 3 Crape Myrtles and is against a wooden deck. Last year I had white impatients in this circle and it was lovely but looking for a coleus plan. My deck pots currently are millionbells, geraniums, etc in yellows and fushia. I'm looking for any color but that is a what I have in 2 huge pots on each side of the deck.
look forward to seeing your great shots.
