| Positive | On May 2, 2015, santamiller from San Antonio, TX wrote: Great mini-leaf coleus that spreads low to the ground. It doesn't wilt when it starts to get dry like regular coleus plants do and does not annoyingly put out flowers like the others do. Not winter hearty in my 8b but hangs in until it gets into the 40s. Worth a re-buy each spring. |
