Poor Coleus

Post by newton »

Picked up a dozen Coleus at the nursery this morning. Im hoping they will survive the coming heat.
They looked nice in the pots but im not so sure now theyre in the ground. To be truthfull they still look far from anything special. What do you think?Image

These annual coleus wont survive the blistering heat of Jehlum... get the perennial "permanent" coleus...

Ah well another lesson learned... are the perrenial Coleus the pink and green with rather wishy washy colours? I ask as I saw them today but dismissed them.
