Park Seed Giant Exhibition Complete Mix Coleus Features
-
Seed Selection: Begin by choosing Coleus seeds in the colors and varieties you desire. Coleus comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, so select seeds that match your garden or indoor decor.
-
Indoor Start: Coleus seeds are typically started indoors, especially in cooler climates. Plant them in seed trays or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate.
-
Temperature and Light: Coleus seeds germinate best at temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C). Provide bright, indirect sunlight or fluorescent grow lights to encourage strong, healthy seedlings. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil without overwatering.
-
Transplanting: When your Coleus seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and are a few inches tall, transplant them into larger containers or your outdoor garden. Space them according to the specific variety's mature size, as Coleus can range from compact to quite large.
-
Care and Maintenance: Coleus plants thrive in well-draining soil and can tolerate partial to full shade, depending on the variety. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.
About Park Seed Giant Exhibition Complete Mix Coleus
The Victorians were Coleus addicts -- so much so that, at the height of this plant's popularity, there was said to be a "Coleus craze" sweeping the populace! Looking at these reselected varieties from the heyday of the Coleus craze, it's easy to see why they were so popular!In this mix you get large foliage on small plants. Most of the leaves are 6 to 7 inches long and 4 inches wide, yet the plants are very compact -- 12 to 15 inches high and wide! They arise in all the colors for which Coleus is known -- burgundy, scarlet, maroon, bronze, cream, pink, and white -- and sporting interesting touches, such as neatly-serrated edges or dramatic veining. You will love these old-fashioned beauties, reselected for modern vigor and terrific garden or container performance!Originally selected as houseplants, the Coleus in this mix are also fine specimens in the shade garden, and are just the right size for containers. They are also fabulous in a mass planting! Coleus germinates readily and grows eagerly. For bushier, fuller plants, keep the growing tips pinched. To extend the lush color into fall, remove any stray flower spikes that emerge -- they take energy away from maintaining the gorgeous foliage, and the flowers are insignificant. If growing in the garden, sow about 12 inches apart. If growing indoors for houseplants, sow at any time, placing the young plants in a well-lit window. Pkt is 20 seeds.
