Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70–75°F (21–24°C) and keep the medium evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 10–14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in bright, indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors in partial to full shade. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushiness. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer for lush growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Giant Rustic Red Coleus seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824633479478,"sku":"FOLIA2-813","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7074789433_q2wl.jpg?v=1793003758","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-giant-rustic-red-coleus-seeds-for-shade-garden-and-bedding","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
