| At last, a Coleus from seed that thrives in bright sunshine as well as shade! Versa lives up to its name with go-anywhere beauty that intensifies and even changes colors as the weather warms up. Easy and quick to grow from our pelleted seed (no magnifying glass necessary!), this compact and very lush plant also blooms late, so it?s carefree while other Coleus are demanding their "trim." What more could we ask?
Each color combination reaches a slightly different height, but all spread up to 24 inches wide. As with all Coleus, they make splendid houseplants as well as an outdoor choice, and are adaptable to garden or container. What a great choice for a combination planting--the leaves are as colorful as the blooms of annual flowering plants!
These Coleus will eventually flower, but the bloomstalks can be pinched off at once to avoid detracting from the beauty of the foliage. (They make good filler in large bouquets.) Expect them to continue their vigorous, healthy growth all summer and until the first hard frost of fall?-or year-round indoors, where you can set them in a sunny window or low-light setting. All they ask is well-drained soil, without too much fertilizer.
Each of the colors in this mix is available separately, including the dramatic color-changing 'Burgundy to Green,' 'Rose to Lime,' and 'Watermelon.' Try them all: super-petite 'Green Halo,' velvety 'Crimson Gold,' golden-green 'Lime,' burgundy-streaked 'Rose to Lime,' cherry-red 'Watermelon,' and dramatic 'Burgundy to Green.' They are ready just 11 weeks from sowing, and you'll start seeing their bright, unusual color combinations from the moment the tiny leaves open! For the best selection of different varieties, order multiple packets of this mix! Pkt is 15 pelleted seeds. |
