    Great article, I have been a gardener for over 30 years but just in the last few years have started growing coleus. I love to plant them on my porch for the summer and then root cuttings in the fall to enjoy them as houseplants like you mentioned.

    We have a lot in common, I am a cat lover, quilter, gardener and my name is Joyce too! : )
