Those really are gorgeous. I like the way you’ve combined the various colors; when I see them in landscapes around here, the palette’s not so varied. Yours is more attractive by far.
Thanks so much!
Lovely display!
Thanks! Really brightens up the deck.
Beautiful planting shown off by your excellent pictures.
Thanks, Susan!
All those wonderful variations. Love it!
Thanks so much!
Impressive! Your green thumb is showing there. Gorgeous container planting.
Thanks so much, Judy! Great spot for them.
Gorgeous colours – and love that sign!
Such a lovely variety of colours Laurie and what a fun sign! 💜🐸
Thanks, Xenia!
Beautiful plant and colors.
Many thanks!
Something we DO have here in Texas! I planted some from *seed* in pots in the old house before we put it on the market and it grew like crazy! So I uprooted some and brought it to the new house. We’ve had an unusually mild and wet summer, so that may be part of why they’ve grown so well
Beautiful wherever they grow. Ours will last until the first hard frost.
Now that is a happy sight to greet one, coming and going! ❤
Thanks, Eliza! Sure is.
Glorious indeed.
Thanks, Tootlepedal!
Gorgeous!
Many thanks!
Those coleus are lovely! I must try them here for colour that doesn’t rely on flowering.
In a shady yard, the burst of color is most welcome. And, as you noted, the color doesn’t rely on flowering. Win-win for this house on the edge of the woods.
Glorious is the right word and love the sign 😊
Thanks, Rupali!
Glorious, indeed. I liked the amphibian sign, too
Thanks, Derrick!
You really have a green thumb — or in this case, pink.
Many thanks!
Coleus is so pretty this time of year!
Thanks, Dawn!
Your beautiful photograph reminds me of growing coleus from stems during my boarding school years: some of us would root the stems in a jar of water and then plant them in tins placed on the windowsills of our bedrooms.They needed more sunlight than we could give them, so this tended to be an ongoing process.
These plants do really well in a shady spot. Must depend on the variety.
These are lovely, Laurie — you really have a Green Thumb! I had Coleus once upon a time many moons ago. I suppose they got left behind in one of my many moves. Sad. I probably ought to remedy that one of these days.
Thanks, Debbie. Part of it is that they really like that spot.
Fabulous photos and color!!🙂
Many thanks!
Love your flowers…and your TOAD sign! 😀
Thanks, Donna!
Glorious indeed. And a very funny sign. 😊🐸
Thanks, Tanja!
I love this corner arrangement – the various delightfully coloured pots, and your very witty signage.
Thanks, Ju-Lyn!
Spectacular, Laurie. I love coleus.
Many thanks!
Love all the variety in the big planter, Laurie. Such pretty plants.
Thanks, Jane!
Beautiful plants! I tried growing coleus from seed along with my marigolds, but was not successful. I think I’ll start earlier with my remaining seeds next year.
I bought mine as seedlings from a local nursery.
That’ll be on my plant list for next year. Thanks!
The coleus is very beautiful and lush, and I love your frog sign! 🙂
Thanks, Lavinia! Sure is nice to have that ongoing splash of color.
I like that green and white one.
A nice contrast.
