What do you guys think?

Okay don't know if these are the same coleus or different. The 1st pict is of 'Watermelon' that I grew from seed (name according to the seed packet that I bought from Home Depot). The 2nd (with the ginger lilly) I bought as a filler plant (liked where my other one was). Somehow they seem different - the 2nd wasn't labeled at all and I thought it was the same variety but the top one has sort of a flat leaf the filler coleus has more of a 'ruffly' leaf texture. I know Coleus changes color but does the texture change also??

The 2nd coleus

I believe the 2nd one is one of the wizards. I love the watermelon!

Thanks for the reply Mary - okay I'm now getting into the coleus so is there a wizard Watermelon then a 'regular' watermelon also? Is the difference in the leaf texture?

I personally don't know of a Wizard Watermelon.
Those do look like Wizard Tri-color.
Here is a tray of Watermelon.
This coleus will get deep purple in full sun.

And another Watermelon tray, notice the difference?
I try them in several spots before planting.
Trays are easy to move, the alternative is not.

Wow - they are pretty Sugar - funny how they have the same name but look completely different to my HD watermelon seeds! LOL I'm addicted either way now!! :)

I believe that your first plant is 'Versa Watermelon', which is sometimes confused with a classic Coleus known simply as 'Watermelon', a very attractive but rather different plant. I had posted a couple of months ago about my plant which was kindly pointed out as 'Versa Watermelon'. Versa is a series of plants that grow true--or nearly so--from seed. The picture I've posted here is one of several 'Versa Watermelons' I have planted in different places that are all clones of one plant I obtained last year.

I was able to get the 'Classic Watermelon' from Rosy Dawn this year. They have it but it's not in this year's catalog.

The picture posted above by "sugarweed" is the same plant I obtained from from Rosy Dawn as 'Watermelon'.
