Use a sterile seed-starting mix and gently press seeds into the surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the medium evenly moist. Seedlings typically emerge in 10-14 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in bright, indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the danger of frost has passed, harden off the plants and set them in the garden or containers. Choose a location with partial to full shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry spells. Pinch back growing tips to encourage a bushy habit. Fairway Rose Coleus is a tender perennial often grown as an annual and thrives in warm, humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Fairway Rose Coleus seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824634429750,"sku":"FOLIA2-818","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7026772956_j4la.jpg?v=1793003769","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-fairway-rose-coleus-seeds-compact-pink-red-foliage-shade-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
