The mix is extremely popular, and it includes a complete color range, from green-yellow, bronze and red. The seeds also can be grown for an excellent house plant which will add color to those dreary winter days. Find a sunny window sill, and Coleus plants will perform nicely indoors. Originating in Africa and Indonesia, these exotic looking plants perform well as shade garden plants, in pots and containers, and in hanging baskets. They need a partially shady setting and prefer moist, rich soil, with good drainage.
Excellent Houseplant
Coleus plants are commonly grown outdoors, but they also make for great house plants! Given the warm conditions of an indoor environment, they will remain in vibrant color for months.

How to Grow
It is most ideal to start coleus seeds indoors for best establishment. Sow seeds into cell packs with a sterile starter mix. Press seeds into the soil but do not cover: light is needed for germination. Keep soil at a temperature of 70-75F degrees and keep moist until germination. Under these conditions, seeds will germinate in 10-14 days. After all danger of frost has passed, seedlings can be transplanted directly into the garden 12 inches apart or into containers. Grow in rich and moistened soil in an area of partial sun. If growing indoors, coleus plants prefer a bright window.

Coleus (Black Dragon) - For a dark foliage plant, start Coleus seeds and enjoy the show! Solenostemon scutellarioides is perfect for adding some intense color into the shade border. Or grow a house plant indoors in a sunny window. Black Dragon is an unusually richly-textured, warmly-colored foliage plant. Compact, very showy, and easy to grow, it's a must-have for anyone with an area of shade, and it's so easy to establish with flower seeds. The leaves are spectacular, both for their red-to-midnight-purple color shading and their rippling edges which will pucker and begin to turn colors. A familiar common name is Painted Nettle. It is suggested to start these flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected.
