How To Grow
It is most ideal to start coleus seeds indoors for best establishment. Sow seeds into cell packs with a sterile starter mix. Press seeds into the soil but do not cover: light is needed for germination. Keep soil at a temperature of 70-75F degrees and keep moist until germination. Under these conditions, seeds will germinate in 10-14 days. After all danger of frost has passed, seedlings can be transplanted directly into the garden 12 inches apart or into containers. Grow in rich and moistened soil in an area of partial sun.
