We pulled out the old coleus end of last year and threw them under our aging ulam raja. With the current rate of rainfall, there sprouts roots and shoots at the stems. Under the bright sun, their multicolour is so sweet and refreshing... I decided to leave them where they are now....

I love all the variations of the coleus plant - I am terrible at keeping them as I seem to overwater them or if its a wet summer here they succumb to the wet. I think the best display I ever saw was at Great Dixter - the late Christopher Lloyds garden.
ReplyDeleteI love coleus too! They have certainly come a long way since the days when there were only a few different colours of foliage patterns available. They're perennial for you, but here they're annuals, very welcome in containers and brightening up slightly shady spots.
ReplyDeleteThey do look so sweet all in a row there with the light falling on their bright cheery leaves!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely with the light picking out their colours.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed the vibrant color contrasts of Coleus.
ReplyDeleteColeus is one of my favourite plants. Very crazy and liking to be the center of attention :D
ReplyDeleteYour coleus are beautiful. Here I plant them in light shade, and their bright colors are a welcome sight.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty photo, nicely backlit. I thought of you yesterday as I was planting some ginger root. It makes a nice tropical plant. I haven't grown any in over 20 years, but thought I'd grow it again. I'm growing it in a pot in southern California.
ReplyDeleteThey are so very pretty and bright. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty mighty plants! I am amazed myself how hardy they are. They do well in my hot sunny garden as well.
