Yubiker--
I think yours looks good too--if not with a lot of dark netting--it is, otherwise,
healthy looking. Good note on the hot weather. We have VERY hot weather right now.
You will do better taking cuttings in the fall and rooting them in small pots directly into
some pro mix type of soil. I have rooted Coleus cuttings every year--and it is easy.
The only problem is that, 6 months is a bit too long to tend to cuttings, and I had to
re-pinch mine twice and root the pinched off cuttings again. Ended up having just
too many rooting cuttings. Don't think from seed will give you good results.
This year--I have acquired several new varieties and will try to propagate those
and not take up space doing the ones you can, easily, buy in the store.

Judy--I always pinch out the blooms on Coleus. It is odd how many are going into
bloom so early in the season. They are not even full grown--just small plants--but setting bloom.
Must be this crazy, 90 degree heat we are having right now....

Here is my Fishnet Stocking Coleus this morning. Pinched out the bloom.
In the last picture--is it normal for the veins of the leaves to be turning red?
