Solenostemon scutellarioides syn. Plectranthus scutellarioides, Coleus scutellarioides, Coleus blumei

This is wonderful! Last year my coleus did great. This year, not so much 🙈

Still look pretty!

Pretty!

#rain #foliagefriday

Beautiful colours Laura 👌❤️❤️

Those two look great together!💘😍

Thats so weird I actually have these 2 paired up too. Wow

Looks great! Nice combo😊

Thank you Pauline. The rain really enhanced them @pauline33

Thanks neighbor. I have to agree @ShelleySnyder

Great minds think alike Heather 💚 @heatherdirtyhands

👍🤗💘😍

Thank you Katy hard to go wrong with coleus @gjones

Fabulous leaf colours 🤩

Thank you. The rain really brightened this up Jeff @jeatacake

I could look at this plant all day #coleus #june

What a pretty variety

I think I like it!😂💘😍

Yes Maggie! 🌈 @gardengirlla

It's a subtle blast of color Michele 💚 @michele13knots

You sure about that neighbor? 😂😆🤭 @ShelleySnyder

Gorgeous colours! 💕

It's such rich colors @Soph1e ❤️

Beautiful foliage! 😍💓💓

It's amazing isn't it Leydi 💚 @plantobsessions

Oh so could I Laura ❤️

Yep! I think I do!😂💘😍

Tiny trailing coleus. Sun or shade? Anyone know...? Shelley? I'm reading opposing views. #coleus #coleus-trailing 4.20.19

This can take 🌞 my friend, color will be more intense and it'll grow bigger!💘😍

Oh good! Whew! I potted it with dusty Miller and the false spirea. The colors are great, but then I thought I would have to undo it. You're a peach my friend ❤️ 😘 @ShelleySnyder

Ooooooh!! I feel so fuzzy now!🤗💘😍

Its so pretty

Sun?! I thought shade. Good to know. Thank you ladies. @ShelleySnyder

@lovestogarden all of my coleus are in the sun! But I do know that the big leafed Kong can NOT take sun!! They will fry and die!💘😍

Loving this one

How cool is that?! 💕💚💕

Good to know, @ShelleySnyder! 😎

Speaking of #foliage #foliage-a-holic

Wow 😯 that looks like it’s been painted 🌈

Love the # 😉

Ohh pretty

Oooooooweeeeee!! Fantabulous!! Speak away!!💘😍

Had a tangle with a yellow jacket. I've changed my opinion about the little darlings, at least for today. Spray all you want! Kill the little stingers! It wasn't good enough to get my ankle. It then flew up my dress and ... ouch! Right thru the leggings! That's my #wildlifewednesday story. #stungonthebum #ouch 9.19.18

OUCH!! Watch that sting Laura, they say you can develop a reaction to them anytime! So be careful!💘😍

😮 Kill it with fire! 🔥🔪☠️🐝

I can watch the one on my ankle Shelley 😉 @shelleysnyder 💙

Sounds like a plan @branden 🔥

Kinda hard to watch the other one!😂😂 Someone else would have to do that for you!😂😂💘

Sorry you got stung

Thank you Cyndi. Me too 💜💜💜 @Cyndi

Yup. @shelleysnyder 💚

I got stung by a yellow jacket last week - on my right ring finger. My whole hand was swollen for 3 days!

Oh no! And you didn't shout it to Gtags? I'm not swelling too bad. @gjones

Ouch! Sounds a real pain in the butt Laura! 😢

Good morning! #tuesdaytreasure

They have done so well this year 👍

They have been so nice @suerichards

Gorgeous Laura 😍

Ooooooh! A good treasure!!💘😍

Thank you lovely Lexi xoxo @lexijane

A very good treasure! Thank you @ShelleySnyder

💕💚💕

One of my favorite treasures!😁💘😍

My first year being seriously enamoured by coleus. I'm sold. I hope I get seeds from top left. It was grown from seed packet 'mixed coleus', as we're several here. I was gifted the bottom 3. Definitely #savingseeds

I can blame only one person for this #coleus #addiction . Shelley you rascally rascal! I'm getting flowers on those bottom 3! Thank you @ShelleySnyder

That Shelley.... 😂 She is a Queen of Coleus! 👑 @ShelleySnyder

I absolutely agree with you Kari @KariSamuel !

Fabulous foliage and so much colour to a garden 💚💘💖💜

Great colours Laura, I'm going to do them next year 😍😍

Coleus pack one extreme punch! Can't lose!😁💘😍

@columbiariver @KariSamuel 😲 oh my I'm such a bad influence!😂😂💘😍

So true @keely 😚💝

You will be happy that you did Jane 😚💜 @pelly

You're a great influence Shelley 💕😄😚💝 @shelleysnyder

You're so sweet Laura!💘😍

This is my favorite coleus that I grew from seed this year. #foliagefriday

Nice bright colours-lovely!

Kong coleus!!😁💘😍

Very nice, great picture 😊💕

I hope it produces some seeds. It's also one of the smallest coleus we grew this year. It's just an ordinary variety from the mix seed packet. @gjones @ShelleySnyder @terrimclaughlin

Thats what i grew all mine from Laura a mixed seed packet.

Oh wow! Usually the Kong's are huge! I wonder if there's a mini version!🤔💘😍

Coleus is definitely bee friendly! My baby bath has popped! #mybathtub #antique #porcelain #babybath #coleus #beefriendly #savethebees #containergarden

Lovely. I have been pinching off the blooms, enjoying the foliage, but will let them blooming later for the bees.

Me too, I've always pinched out the tips for bigger plants... But i will leave them on in future 👍🏻👌🏻

Looks very pretty!

These haven't stopped sending up new flowers since they started. @lovestogarden @pottybird42

Thanks so much. It's been entertainment for us to watch them grow and the bees @gjones

They all look so perfect together!! Very pretty 👍🏻🤗🤗😊💕

My coleus flowered and I pinched them back so they flowered again. I think mother nature was sending me a message. Lol. #Bee-u-ti-ful

Nice!

The #booty of #coleus from that sweet Shelley. They're fabulous! Now to keep them going. 8.2.18 #giftfromshelley

So many lovely shapes and colours Laura! What a great gift

I'm so lucky and so blessed Rich. This was so kind of Shelley and so fun for me @richard.spicer.7906

Aw, I'm glad you had a good time together, it's so wonderful to meet up with other GT'rs - glad you both enjoyed it 😊

A good time, indeed. It's a ways to travel for most of us in the USA, but we're doing it! @richard.spicer.7906

Wow! They look like they made it! So glad!💘😍

Lovely

They always make it, thanks to my trusty chauffeur (but mostly thanks to the plant carrier I keep in my truck....shhhh). @ShelleySnyder

👍👍💘😍

Shelley should I leave these in their little pots awhile or do you think they're ok to put in bigger pots now? @shelleys

Sorry Laura I didn't get this! Yes I would leave them in the pots I put them in (cuz I just did it two days before you came) until you see some roots coming out the bottom and then you could put them in any size pot you want!😉💘😍

Ok.thats easy enough!

#coleus #fromseed #grownfromseed #babybathtub #afternoonshade

That's a pretty one!💘😍

Wow! That's a cool one😍

Great foliage on that plant!

This is the biggest of the seedlings now. Very pretty too. Thank you for suggesting I keep all my seed babies Jenn and James @jennlamaye @bandicoot. What a fun assortment.

She's a real purdy one Laura!!💘😍

Colours look great on it! 😄

I love this one! @ShelleySnyder @bandicoot

Me too!!💘😍

Love coleus

Oh that's pretty!!

It's so Purdy! @columbiariver

#coleus #fromseed #somanycoleus #funtogrow #funtowatch #easypeasy

Oh man, you have the green fingers for sure! I had SUCH a hard time growing these last year 😂

No! Kim, I don't understand. I started them inside under light, but not on heat. They were in one flat 8 x 8 container. Seed starter soil. I had hundreds of them. Dwindling down now because I carelessly left some in sun too long first day out. Oops! Try try again Kim! @Mikekally

I got some started finally last year Laura but I must've gone through two full packets of seed just to get 4 plants. They just kept disappearing after they'd germinated! Either slugs or too hot in the greenhouse! @columbiariver

They don't seem to like heat so I'll bet if you sowed some in trays in the house maybe.

How do you pick which coleus to pot?

All of them! @columbiariver

Hahaha @columbiariver I'm with @bandicoot ❤️ they prick out and transfer well. I kept all of mine. You can tell you have maybe two types right now...

😂😂😂 keep em all till you got to many!💘😍

They did well for you. Now you have a bit of potting up to do.😄😊

I've got to get more pots! I spent 3 hours potting yesterday and I've got more. So excited that it's nearly mid April and time to move them out. @bandicoot @jennlamaye @ShelleySnyder @gjones

#whyamialwayoutofpots 😉

Too early to know which will be the best coloured ones. You'll need a lot if space. I realised this over the weekend with all my seedlings & have bought another "mini" greenhouse for the inevitable overspill soon!

This is about half of them. They're all potted but not individually. Just enough to get good soil and more space for now. My living room is full Jeff! There's no room for people! You will need that extra greenhouse because gtags seed sharers are brutally generous. Oh my, we have such troubles! @jeatacake

@jennlamaye do you have craft warehouse near you? They have nice ceramic pots for $3. Not tiny, but not big either. Cheaper than clay! And beautiful smooth finish on them. @jennlamaye

@columbiariver fantastic tip!!!

One of these things is not like the other. I spent many years with Sesame Street.

Found it!!😁💘😍

But what is it @ShelleySnyder

Haha. Sneaky little guy! At the moment, looks like a Madagascar periwinkle. I'll look at my seedlings and see if there's anything else close. Tomato? Maybe a cosmo. We'll know soon enough. Lol 😉

I'm gonna guess weed! I think they are floating around in the air looking for a place to land and grow!😁😜💘😍

Nope! Hint: seed came from @daisyjane . @jennlamaye @ShelleySnyder. Now I see 2 of them.

CHEATER!! This was a trick photo!!! To early for games!😂😂😂💘😍

Come on Shelley. Wake up. More coffee for me, me thinks. @ShelleySnyder

If it was me, almost certainly a periwinkle. Lol

Nope @jennlamaye

I missed the period in that previous statement. 😉

It's a surprise you have to let it grow now we are intrigued 👌😂
