I take cutting from outside coleus favorites in the fall, get them to root in water, transplant into some containers and grow them overwinter under an array of 8 regular fluorescent tubes. From the picked overwintered selections I take as many cuttings as possible in the early spring, get them started in water, transplanted into starter pots under those basement lights and transplant into garden in late May into June. This has been a successful propagation procedure for coleus continuation/expansion for years.
Pic is tray of one of one of the coleus' propagated thusly for this summer.
