Check out Sandy’s instructions for taking cuttings from her coleus plant. She did a really good job of breaking everything down, step by step with pictures. There are so many awesome varieties of coleus, my top ten favorites are pictured below:

Funny you posted about coleus — I’ve been rethinking coleus lately! I might even plant some. It is so common in S. Florida (where I grew up), and many varieties of it I don’t care for, so that I’ve had it in the Dislike category for a long time. But, now I might plant one or two of the varieties I do think are pretty!
sdat — California is the same way. The common varieties of coleus are everywhere. Good nurseries have more exotic hybrids that are really stunning.
