Karen,

The above photo is just a small part of my coleus collection (50+ named varieties).

Coleus root best when it is warm (75-80 at night) and I start all mine in potting soil, you should too. They will root in water, but, when you pot them up you break off many of the roots.

When I cut back unsold plants that have gotten leggy I throw the 'cuttings' on the compost pile, they root.

Purslane is another plant that is perennial here>
