Where do you buy this plant? I'd really like to have one of my own as well! Thank-you!

Where does the author live? I am in eastern Los Angeles County and wonder what winter protection to provide, when to fertilize and with what.

I live in Virginia zone 8, but coleus is a tropical perennial and should fare much better in Calli. They are sensitive to frost so I have to bring them indoors come cooler weather about 45-50 degrees. The new varieties are sun tolerant but some cultivars have better coloring with part shade. Coelus love fish emulsion, about a capful in a gallon of water once a month. Good luck with your coleus!
