How to grow
How To Grow Coleus From Seed: Sow flower seeds indoors. Gently press the seeds into the starter mix, but do not cover the flower seeds. Transplant the Coleus seedlings once they have at least 2 - 3 sets of true leaves.
You will love watching the new seedlings emerge, showing their permanent coloring from the time of their appearance. Pinch the plant once or twice as it grows to encourage more branching, then sit back and enjoy these red foliage plants from spring through fall, or year-round indoors.
