Coleus

Coleus - A few kinds of these pretty-leaved plants, of the Sage order, succeed in the open air in summer. In some of the London parks they are arranged by themselves in large masses, generally of one kind only. Though there is a host of varieties, few succeed in the open air. Mr Wildsmith, of Heckfield, wrote: "We have tried at least a score of varieties, with the result that the first kind recommended (Verschaffelti) is still the only one that succeeds well." The culture of all the varieties is of the simplest nature; cuttings strike freely in any sandy soil in a moist heat of 70degree.
