I found my favorite coleus from last year

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Anyone know its name? I lucked out and found 5 - 1 gallon pots of it at Lowes last night. I was so thrilled. I then drove another 15 miles to another Lowes hoping for rmore, but no luck!

P I N K

Hope you don't mind Kell. Sorry this is not Coleus but had to show you.
I found a Fuchsia today and since you like pink you might like this one.

That's beautiful and varigated to boot. I grew them when I lived up north but not here until this year. I found a tiny, almost miniture one at Target for a buck something and could not resist.. I have on the north side of the house under some ferns. It's been in about a month and now just coming into it's own bloom, not the nursery's. It looks are though it's going to be a bush, not pendulus. Right now it's only about 8" high. Time will tell.

I love pink too. Making this year's beds mostly pink, purple, fushia, etc. You get the drift. It's a nice cool color for hot Florida.

That's a beautiful coleus, I hate to admit it, but that's all I've been looking for in the garden centers. Had no luck at all today, but the search is on for tomorrow again. This time I will be heading for Ohio. I hope someone knows her name.

Kin, your fuchsia is just so pretty. Pink too! LOL. I wish I had better luck with them. For some reason I kill them.

Cathy, I am doing that also. I have become a mad woman grabbing all the coleus I see. LOL. I now think I have too many for my bed.

Taylor Creek, FL(Zone 10a)

Kell, I got one of those at HD, it's a "Sun" "Coleus", LOL This really agrivates me that their is no label. It appears to be a Florida type with the ruffles. Check Coleusfinder, and let us know what tou think.
