Product Details
Our Coleus Confetti Classic Annual Collection, a customer favorite for years, provides a brilliant tapestry of foliage that you’ll enjoy right up until the first hard frost of fall. One plant of each variety, 6 plants total. Container not included.
- Coleus 'Black Magic'
- Coleus 'Garnet Robe'
- Coleus 'Rattlesnake'
- Coleus 'Henna'
- Coleus Stained Glassworks™ Big Blonde
- Coleus 'Bronze Pagoda'
Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 6 plants in this collection, we recommend a container at least 16″ in diameter and 12″ deep.
The endlessly colorful foliage of Coleus once figured prominently in Victorian bedding schemes andrecently have made a comeback, as gardeners have rediscovered old varieties and breeders have introduced new ones. Coleus varieties make glorious container subjects and though most tolerate full sun, they are more valuable in shade, where summer color is scarce. Perennial in Zone 10.

Shipping
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

A Real Disappointment
John Kersting from North Dighton, MA, USA
I am sorry to learn the plants in this collection have either died or are struggling. As they are guaranteed I will be contacting you via email regarding compensation. We do recommend acclimating plants for several days after shipping before planting and this information should have been received with the order. I do apologize if it was not received.
Sincerely,
Cathy

Growing guide
Latin Name Pronunciation: ko'lee-us
Traditionally, Coleus have been terrific foliage plants for shade, but many of the new varieties are also quite tolerant of sun. Variations in light intensity can have a dramatic impact on leaf color and plant size. Their diversity of foliage color, leaf shape, and growth habit make Coleus a valuable container and bedding plant, especially in shade where summer color is scarce.
All Coleus prefer evenly moist garden soil. Where the growing season is long, pinch the tips of the stems regularly to encourage branching and compact growth. If you grow Coleus in containers, we recommend that you incorporate a timed-release fertilizer at planting time. We also suggest using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks for plants in containers; in the ground, once a month is enough, with the fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Hardy only to Zone 10, plants cannot withstand frost without damage. In colder climates, plants can be overwintered without difficulty on a sunny windowsill, or take tip cuttings in early fall to start new plants. Coleus root very readily.
It is commonly recommended that the blooms of Coleus be removed as soon as they appear because they detract from the foliage display. Bloom is sparse on the varieties we offer, and the small lavender-blue flowers are neither unattractive nor very showy; it hardly seems worth the trouble to cut them off.
