Park Seed Coleus Kong Empire Mix Pelleted 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 Coleus Kong Empire Mix Pelleted
At last, all the glorious Kong varieties in one mix, guaranteeing you the full range of bright colors and patterns! This Empire Mix contains Kong Mosaic, Salmon Pink, Red, Rose, and Scarlet, for an unprecedented display of bold foliage in garden and container. Kong is a shade-loving Coleus renowned for its larger leaves and bolder patterns on very compact plants. Just 18 to 20 inches high, it reaches 15 to 18 inches wide, yet the leaves can be fully a foot long! Neatly serrated, they are patterned in brilliant combinations of reds, greens, whites, creams, yellows, and even hard-to-find pinks! This annual is prized for its ease of growth and "always in bloom" nonstop color. It thrives in partial shade and any good, well-drained soil. As flower spikes begin to form above the leaves, snip them away promptly. This will promote even more lush leaves to set, and will keep your Kongs at their very best. Sowing and growing this Coleus is a snap. Germinate the seed indoors at 72 to 75 degrees F, lightly covering the seed or simply dropping one seed per hole into the bio sponges of your Bio Dome. Keep the soil moist by misting if using seed trays (the Bio Dome operates by bottom-watering, so this isn't an issue), and keep humidity high by placing plastic over the seed tray or keeping the dome of the Bio Dome in place. Grow the seedlings on at 68 to 70 degrees during the day, with cooler nights if possible -- Kong is not fussy about temperature and will do well in a wide range of conditions. Transplant the seedlings when they have at least 2 sets of true leaves. Enjoy!
