Mr Fothergills Coleus Flame Dancers
Description
Fabulous foliage for summer bedding or patio containers. Eye-catching colour combinations as indoor plants. Sow anytime for indoor pot plants. Treat as HHA.
Coleus have always been a great plant for adding long lasting colour to the shady border and they also make a dramatic foliage plant for summer pots and bedding.
For outdoor plants in summer, sow indoors, February-April, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings, 5cm (2") apart, to other trays when large enough to handle (always hold by a leaf, never by the stem). Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into well-drained soil, May-June, 20cm (8") apart, when frosts are over. For use as indoor pot plants, sow indoors at any time of year. Pot seedlings on individually, to 15cm (6") pots and keep in a light, airy location.
