| Neutral | Lina5606 | On Mar 13, 2008, Lina5606 from Flagstaff, AZ (Zone 5b) wrote: I have had mine for 2 years now. I bring it indoors during winter/ frosty conditions and it lives outdoors when it is warmer here. My plant doesn't have huge leaves like it is supposed to, it's not in full shade either and I am not sure if the sun is the reason the leaves are much smaller.
It is very easy to take stem cuttings and start new plants with this one! |

They are just so vivid and bright, and they add striking color to the shady areas of my gardens. I love arranging them with other plants for a really beautiful display. Since they do so well in the shade, they also make great houseplants. |
| Positive | Happenstance | On Jul 20, 2004, Happenstance from Northern California, CA wrote: These coleus boast extremely large leaves, generally the size of your hand. Five unique color patterns include Kong Mosaic a Fantastic Foliage(TM) variety.
Well-branched plants grow 18 to 22 in. (45 to 55 cm) tall in the garden. Keeps a controlled look in combo plantings. Great for large containers & shady mass plantings. Performs best & shows the most intense color in full shade.
Makes a good indoor house plant in bright artificial light conditions. |
