Planting & Care

Sow Giant Limelight Coleus seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F and keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-14 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. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and pinch back growing tips to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
