I started this one and (many others)from a packet of Lily Miller seeds in 02/02. I had 45 coleus from that one packet of seeds I ended up...Read More giving over half of them away. I've gardened with coleuses for years and I've never seen any this big. I kept about 20 of them for myself. I've got some that are over 3.5 feet high. They have normal sized leaves. Then I have others (like the one in this picture) that are about 2-2.5 feet but have leaves that are 10 inches long and 7 inches across. The plant in this picture is all one plant yet it's foliage grows in 3 different shades along different sections of the plants stalk. I placed time release (osmacote) right under the plants roots when I repot them, added nitrogen to the top of the soil and fed every 2 weeks with water soluble plant food. Anyhow. I like them because all my gardening friends jaws drop when they see them. =)
