Mine are growing way too fast and are already too big and crowded. I guess I started too early, but I have to take cuttiings in Sept. If I wait until Oct, I risk a frost and also the cuttings from late fall don't seem to do as well. But now I have a room full of plants all big enough to be little stock plants! Now would be a good time to take cuttings from all of them, but I am out of room!

This 'sedona' is one of my favorites. It looks best where it can get at least 1/2 day of sun.

Has anyone made use of a portable greenhouse for their coleus? I just bought a real cheap one, but not sure how to use it. I am in zone 6. I wonder if I could make use of it to harden them off in spring withough having to carry them in and out everyday.
