There are very few flowers that are in bloom all the year round but if you love to see colour and pretty patterns in your home or garden you don’t need flowers when you have some Coleus.
Coleus are fairly hard to kill and in many places will actually grow better indoors than out! How good is that? 😉

I’m embarrassed to admit that I did kill one of these awhile back… I’m surprised I’ve actually kept my cat alive for 14 years, let alone a plant!

Hah! You must have special talents! 😉
Fortunately for your cat!… how many of his/her 9 lives you think s/he still has left? 🙂

By my calculations she would be over a hundred in our years… we all gotta go sometime! 😦

My Mum always used to take a few cuttings and put them in a glass of water for a couple of weeks then replant them.
Have you seen the latest BLUE ones yet??

If not just google Blue Coleus – images. – Watch out for the reverse ones (blue border, white centre) – they are CGI creations for the computer simulation Second Life!! 🙂
You can buy 100 seeds for 40 CENTS (delivered!) on AliExpress, but don’t rush – wait to see if mine make it through our tough customs import laws unscathed first. I’ll keep you informed of progress.
