How to Sow and Plant

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

How to Grow

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