How to Sow and Plant

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow on the soil surface or slightly cover as coleus seeds are very fine. Keep the soil moist and warm until germination occurs, then transplant after the risk of frost has passed.

How to Grow

Plant in partial shade or bright indirect light for best foliage color. Space plants 8–12 inches apart for airflow and healthy growth. Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier, fuller foliage.
