Oops, I hope I didn't halt the discussion by getting on my soapbox over the big box stores. So sorry! I've always bought a lot of mail order plants due to the lack of selection at local nurseries. It's just that in the last five years or so I've been talking to the owners of our local nurseries and seeing the big picture from their perspective, and seeing it all slowly come to pass ... our patronage of the big box stores for plants are drying up our selction even more. Just my opinion, of course!

Coleus rocks. I'd like to find some more sun-loving coleus. The one I have is Alabama Sunset which takes the full sun of the front garden, which really livens things up out there.

Can anyone suggest another sun-loving Coleus? I love Alabama Sunset, but it seems time for a change.
