New to Coleus - Have a Question

Bowling Green, KY

I just saw the posted photos of KONG COLEUS MOSAIC and had to buy some! i have never grown coleus before and wondered if i have to keep the plants from blooming and seeding by pinching them off...If the plants bloom and seed do they die afterwards?

Thanks!

Yes you have to pinch, pinch, pinch. My Kong had to be pinched twice a day sometimes. If you hang around us, we will have you addicted. After it doubles in size, take cuttings and root those. You will enjoy your Mosaic.
I couldn't afford one, but took this picture sunday in Ga on the way home from the Ga. swap.
Leaf was 2" wider than the bill was long.

Well, I just couldn't afford to buy all I would have, had money been no object. LOL We can all trade rooted cuttings in a month or two.
I am on a temporary crunch, but want to show you what I would have gotten, but instead I just took pictures.
These were $12 a 12" pot, but had at least 3 in each one.
