Planting & Care

Sow coleus seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F and keep the soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days.

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed. Pinch back growing tips to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
